Turpan Karez Museum of Folklore


Long ago, Village Chief Ali led the villagers through countless hardships and finally dug the first Karez well in the village. On the day of the water supply, a grand celebration was held. Village Chief Ali invited many guests from afar and invited them to visit the newly opened spring of life - the Karez Well. He hopes that everyone can promote the spirit of unity, cooperation, and self-improvement displayed in the Karez Well to all directions.

At the entrance of the park, you can dress up as a guest invited by Village Chief Ali, receive a sachet, and enter the park through the portal of time and space.

The village chief gathered the tools for digging the Karez well and built a Karez well museum. Villagers hold different digging tools to show you how to use them and introduce the interesting stories of the village chief leading the villagers in digging the Karez well.
