Main attractions

Putaogou amusement park

Founded in March 1981, it is the earliest scenic spot in Putaogou scenic area. After 20 years of changes, it has a deep grape corridor, a magical thousand tears spring waterfall, a hundred year old mulberry and a dazzling array of Pearl agate grapes. In March 1988, chairman Peng Zhen personally wrote a book entitled "Grape Valley", which became the symbol of Grape Valley Amusement Park. The natural water "thousand tears spring" in Putaogou amusement park is the best photo spot for tourists. In summer, "thousand tears spring" on the side of the cliff on the outflow of the drip springs into a spring, water clear and sweet. It is said that drinking "thousand tears spring" water and eating grapes watered and washed with thousand tears spring water can make girls more gentle and beautiful, and young men more brave and understanding. Therefore, common tourists use mineral water bottles to get water here.

The fairy tale of thousand tears spring is tragic and heroic. Many, many years ago, a dragon appeared on the mountain here. On the third day of March every year, it went down the mountain to devour the boys and girls, wantonly destroying them. The people suffered so much that even the local officials could not be spared. No one could do anything about it. As soon as the local official saw that this would not work, he came up with a bad idea. Doesn't the dragon like to eat boy and girl? Well, we'll send him a couple of boy and girl every year. After feeding him, he won't come out again. Of course, officials don't feed their children to the dragon, so it's the common people's turn. This year after year, I don't know how many innocent children have been killed. This year, it's almost the third day of March. People who have children in the countryside hide and run, and those who can't hide have already been fed to the dragon. Local officials and villagers are worried. It's March, and they can't send boys and girls. The countryside is going to suffer again. What can we do? On this day, a couple of young lovers came to the government and asked the government to give a sword to the man and a rope to the woman They are willing to go into the mountains to get rid of harm for the people. As soon as the local officials heard this, they immediately prepared a sword rope for them. In the early morning of the third day of March, they came to the top of the mountain, hid their weapons and waited for the dragon to appear. Before long, the Dragon appeared. The young man took advantage of it and stabbed it fiercely with his sword. The girl took advantage of it and tied it with a rope. After a duel, they finally killed the dragon. Unfortunately, the young man was also seriously injured and died. The girl was so sad that she burst into tears, which turned into a cliff spring. If she cried, she would become today's thousand tears spring. Although the spring is made of tears, the taste is very sweet, I think, probably because they finally meet in another world, even the tears become sweet.

"Thousand tears spring" next to the fruit tasting corridor, in the tourism season approaching, many tourists gather here to taste fruit.

There is also a couple of hundred year old couple trees in the amusement park, 200 years old, which is the third level of national protection of ancient trees. The roots of the two old mulberry trees are tightly intertwined, and the tall and strong one is the wife tree. Every year, the tree is full of fruit, and the thick shade covers the hot sun, so it takes good care of her husband. But the short husband tree only grows green leaves and does not bear fruit. The humorous Uighur compatriots said that the couple tree is a symbol of the happy life of the Uighur family. Indeed, if you pay a little attention, you will find that many married Uighur women are plump and tall, while their husbands are slim and short. However, the male host does not feel inferior and embarrassed because of his short stature and slender, but is proud because his wife's wealth fully shows the wealth of the male host's family
