葡萄溝實際上是一條南北長約7公里、東西寬約2公里的峽谷，因盛產葡萄而聞名。

葡萄溝主要種植無核白葡萄，還有馬奶子、紅葡萄、喀什哈爾、日加干等品種。
其果實呈球形、卵形、橢園形等，有的葡萄晶瑩如珍珠，有的鮮艷似瑪腦，而有的綠若翡翠，還有的潔白像水晶，使人眼花繚亂。

為方便慕名而來的游人，當地修建了數條葡萄長廊，兩側和小亭四周全都是葡萄架。不過架上葡萄只供欣賞，不可褻玩，否則罰錢。

到了新疆沒吃鮮葡萄總是遺憾，我們到新疆的第一天已急不及待在小攤買了一些，可是果實並沒有想像中甜。
原來當地民謠有云「滿山的葡萄紅豔豔，早摘的葡萄不夠甜」，是我們來得太早了！

Despite the sweltering summer heat that hits Turfan, the 7 km Grape Valley remains cool and humid.
Grapes were first grown in the city over 2,000 years ago and together with Turfan's melons and wines,
soon became the region's specialty products.
The delicious produce was often presented as tribute to the Tang imperial court.

The Grape Valley is filled with trellised walkways, that in the peak season of July to August, are covered with bunches of grapes.
The valley produces the famous seedless white grape, horse nipple's grape, and red and black grapes in the fall.
In the valley you will find a park as well as patios and outdoor tables where you can enjoy the grapes and other fruit.
