葡萄溝(the Grape Valley)位于新疆吐魯番(Turpan)市區東北部,因盛產各種優質葡萄而馳名全國。受獨特氣候的影響,這里出產的葡萄比其他地方的葡萄甜得多。每年8月是葡萄豐收的季節。葡萄摘下后,一部分會在集市上銷售,但絕大部分被掛在特制的蔭房(drying house)中風干,然后制成葡萄干(raisin)。如今,葡萄溝已經成為新疆的旅游勝地,每年都會吸引數百萬的游客來此旅游觀光。
Lying in the northeast of Turpan City of Xinjiang, the Grape Valley is famous for various kinds of high-quality grapes in China. Due to the unique climate, grapes produced here are much sweeter than those in other places. August is the season when grapes are harvested. Once grapes have been picked, some will be sold in the market, but most will be hung up in special drying houses and dried into raisins. Nowadays the Grape Valley has turned into a tourist spot in Xinjiang, attracting millions of tourists every year.
