吐鲁番坎儿井地下水里工程

明渠+暗渠+立井使本是蒸发量高、而又没有什么降水的地方，成了一小方绿洲，坎儿井功不可没，在吐鲁番也到处都是，其实为了了解坎儿井，还是去坎儿井民俗园转转吧

It was a small museum with a real karez in it. So you could understand how they could have continuous water supply. Do not forget to go down the tunnel to see the real karez.

It was a small museum and the tunnel was very dark and when we reached the underground Water System, to be honest, it was so small area to stand that it was packed with tourists and I was not awed by it. In my opinion, this sights can be skipped.

This underground water system made the desert bloom, literally! It carried water far and wide without succumbing to the desert problem of evaporation.

夏季的吐鲁番室外温度高达40度，但是一进到坎儿井，顿时觉得凉爽无比。在这里，可以看到前人的聪慧，真不知道他们在没有现代科技的前提下，是如何完成这样伟大的工程。来吐鲁番旅游，不得不看哦。

Don't go there . Rather boring !Actually there is almost nothing to seeTourist trap among the grapes wines

The history of this place is fascinating. Turpan was one of our favourite places along the Silk Road - a green oasis in the desert! Thanks to the 2000 year old underground water system, there are vineyards -the grapes are dried and turn into totally delicious raisins. Our guide - Ahmat from Xinjiang Travel - gave us great insight into the history and culture of the region. Absolutely recommended!

We visited here as part of a Silk Road tour. The water system is impressive and this place tries to explain it and does a good job. There is the inevitable shop at the end!Wished our tour had taken us out to see the system going towards the mountains

Very intereting and revealing site with a lot of valuable explanations in English - definitely a place to when you are with family in town

This is an informative presentation of how the system works. It is right in town and set up like a museum although the system is working. You walk along the stream underground and at the end end up in the gift shop. Still worth seeing.
