Geographical profile

The Wucai Beach is located about 24 kilometers north of Buljin County Town. It is the only way to Habahe County and Kanas. It is adjacent to the Ertiz River, which ripples in the blue waves. It reflects the lush and verdant River Valley scenery on the opposite bank. It can be said that "one river separates two banks, since it has two days". The weathering resistance of riverbank strata varies, and the outline varies. The different minerals in the rocks give rise to various splendors, so they are named "Five-color Beach".

There are large-scale wind power generation websites in front of the Wucaitan scenic spot. Mountains on the north bank are undulating and changeable in color. They are formed by violent River erosion, cutting and gale erosion. Because the weathering resistance of riverbank rock layers varies in strength and form uneven outlines, the rock color here is changeable, and under sunset, the rock color is mainly red, green, purple, yellow, white, black and transitional colors, colorful. Whenever the wind blows, there will be strange cries of different lengths and heights in the ditches and under the rocks.

Geological origin

The multi-color riverbank is formed by flow erosion cutting and wind erosion. On terrace slopes, gullies grow vertically and horizontally, valleys and small soil beams are developed, the width is 5-10 meters, the height of soil beams is generally 5-15 meters, the maximum height is about 25 meters, the height is scattered, and the distribution area is about 3 square kilometers. Located in the arid and windy zone, the weathering resistance of riverbank rocks varies from layer to layer, resulting in uneven outlines. The rocks are composed of red, earth red, light yellow and light green sandstone, mudstone and sandy conglomerate. The rocks are of different colours and colorful shapes, such as coloured castles, monsters and peak clusters. They are typical coloured hills. When the wind blows, it makes strange sounds, which adds mysterious color. Its development and construction undoubtedly add to the scenery of Kanas scenic spot, with considerable passenger flow and economic benefits. The colorful riverbanks will attract tourists both at home and abroad to come here for sightseeing with their typical and unique landforms.

There are large and small stone peaks, stone walls and stone pillars in the scenic area of Wucaitan Beach. The peaks are like forests, dense and intertwined, and their shapes are gorgeous.
