Xinjiang officially opened its first geopark in Keketuohai on Wednesday. Located south of the Altay Mountains and at the source of the Irtysh River, the park covers more than 2,300 square kilometers. Visitors will be able to enjoy breathtaking views including the Irtysh Grand Canyon, a huge mine crater, lakes, mountains, a waterfall, fossils and rivers. UNESCO announced eight new global geoparks in May last year, including Keketuohai. (Xinhua/Zhang Xiaolong)
