Turpan Karez Paradise (Chinese: 吐魯番坎儿井乐园) is a museum featuring Turpan's water management system in Turpan, Xinjiang, China. Its visitors can learn about the underground irrigation system in the desert area, and visitors can see the karez in operation.[1]

This facility is in a relatively convenient location, about five kilometers from the city center of Turpan, about one kilometers from China National Highway 213. The karez there, called Miyim Haji's Karez (Chinese: 米依木·阿吉坎儿井) was built about 800 years ago.
