Northern Xinjiang · Day Trip
The striped terraces above the Ertix River - red, ochre and gold in the low sun, twenty minutes from Burqin town.
Morning or early afternoon from Burqin - a 20-minute taxi or shuttle to the Wucaitan gate on the Ertix.
The boardwalk over the striped cliffs - red, ochre and gold layers above the green river - with the viewing towers for the panorama.
Stay for the 18:00-20:00 golden hour - the terraces glow as the sun drops - then the short road back to town.
