Look,Tianshan Mountains towers in the distance,from which wind,cloud,water and air come,snow comes and accumulates on tops of Mountains.The melted snow makes stream,which flows down the mountians as murmuring stream,or as falls.Water makes valley,nourishes oasis and give birth to life.
With singing of birds,your eyes go around flourishing graps vine.Prosperous grape vines present green vigorously,and clusters of grape become brimful of brightness and attractions,like agates,pearl and jade,picturesque,marvelous,with crystal skin,and more than that,like eyes of beauties of Turpan,bright and charming.

Grey is the color of Gobi Desert,while Turpan enclosed by the grey is green.As soon as you step foot on urban area of Turpan,you will first be welcome by green grape corridors,rich,thick and prosperous,as if all green families in the Northwest.White poplar is stronger than willow,and diversiform leaved poplar is the most popular on this land.Old elm tree,less graceful than white poplar,serves also as a view here.Its oldness makes you feel melancholy,but still with some air of the old immortal.Just like the people in the great northwest,struggling for survival in sand and storm,they become tougher than common things.
