Tianshan and Wensu Canyons

I discovered a beautiful and mysterious area in northwest Xinjiang at about 41.64 N, 80.68 E. It appears to be a red dry canyon that's somewhat popular among travelers, and by the photographs found, I think I'm with them. One problem is that I can't seem to find the name of the place in English, but apparently there are similar canyons (or are they all the same one?) around northern Xinjiang. If any I found in research are the one I discovered first, I'm guessing it's the Wensu Canyon. But all of them seem worth a visit, possibly even an entire vacation with these formations as the destination.
