    Visited the Devil City, the scenery is very charming...

    Checked in the most beautiful September in Xinjiang, came here before the National Day. There are not many people, and various attractions are very enjoyable. 😄😄😄 🌟Highlights: Remember to come here at dusk, the scenery is the most beautiful. Although the time will be a bit rushed, the sunset shines on various mountains and valleys. It's a bit devilish. It's best to catch a windy day. This feeling is really like a devil. 😆😆😆 👍Most recommended: Take advantage of the sightseeing car in the scenic area, you must listen to the guide's explanation, it must be said that many attractions inside are weird in shape, indeed quite artistic. But remember to bring a bottle of water, otherwise your mouth will dry up. ☺☺☺ The natural style, the magic workmanship is nothing more than poetry.

    Haunted by Beauty: Xinjiang's Ghost Town, Devil City

    #chinatrip Venturing into Xinjiang's Devil City, I discovered an eerie allure amidst the Gobi Desert's rust-red landscape. This abandoned "ghost town" transformed into a surreal wonderland as winds howled like banshees. The tram tour unveiled breathtaking rock formations, crafted by erosion: Majestic sphinxes Sinking Titantics Vibrant peacocks Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's iconic filming location added cinematic charm. Golden hour's warm light made every snapshot mesmerizing. Despite being deserted, Devil City's haunting beauty captivated me. Its ethereal landscape, forged by nature's fury, left an indelible mark.

    Explore the World Devil City.

    The World Devil City is a typical Yadan landform scenic spot, integrating Gobi Yadan, desert canyons, stone beach poplars, natural asphalt, sunrise rosy clouds, and mirages. It has rock Yadan and natural asphalt veins. The movies "Seven Swords" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were filmed here, and the unique natural features of the Devil City added a lot of color to the movies. In addition, the natural asphalt veins and rich strange stone resources in the scenic area also provide tourists with excellent opportunities to explore natural wonders.

    Devil's City | More shocking than imagined

    | More shocking than imagined. ☀️Sunlight casts unpredictable shadows on the jagged rocks, adding a touch of mystery. Here, there is only wind and oil💨 This is the Yardang landform learned from geography books. Stepping on the soft soil feels like cotton candy. Another page has been turned in the book of my world. 📸Every random shot here is a masterpiece. I suggest sisters who come here wear denim or khaki-colored clothes or skirts. They really stand out in photos. Anyway, the main thing is to wear bright colors. The scenery is absolutely stunning.

    Devil's City: A Fantastical Stone Forest Sculpted by Nature🪨

    🌪️ Devil's City, also known as Urho Wind City, is located in the northwest of Urho District, Karamay City, Xinjiang. This unique landscape has been formed by long-term wind erosion, creating various natural 'castles.' On windy days, strong winds pass through the rock crevices, producing eerie howling sounds, reminiscent of ghostly wails, hence the name 'Devil's City.' When I first stepped into this mysterious place, it felt like being in an alien world from a sci-fi movie, with the rugged scenery inspiring awe. 🪨 Spectacular Yardang Landforms The most distinctive feature of Devil's City is its unique Yardang landforms. The rocks here have been shaped by thousands of years of wind erosion and rainwater, forming a vast natural stone forest. The stone forest features various bizarre shapes, such as ancient castles, towers, and animals, which are breathtaking, like masterpieces sculpted by nature. During sunrise or sunset, the sunlight casts a golden glow on these stone pillars and rocks, making the entire land appear even more mysterious and magnificent. This place is also a paradise for photography enthusiasts, with every angle offering stunning shots.

    Karamay | Devil City 'A wind blows from spring to winter every year'

    | Devil City 'A wind blows from spring to winter every year'.🗻 The World Devil City in Xinjiang Karamay, 🏞️ a masterpiece of nature, has at least 300 windy days a year, and it is the wind that has created these spectacular and unique landscapes!🛣️ 🌟 The Devil City in Xinjiang, once rated by 'China National Geography' as one of the 'Three Most Beautiful Yadan in China'. It is said that a hundred million years ago, this place was a lake. Due to tectonic movements and climate changes, this area gradually formed its unique geomorphological features. Because it is located in a wind channel, the Devil City experiences constant fierce winds throughout the seasons, with wind forces reaching up to 10-12 on the Beaufort scale. The strong northwestern winds have given the Devil City its 'name', and even more so, its devilish 'shape'.

    World Devil City, you will never know why it is called the Devil City unless you visit

    Located in the Urho District of Karamay City, Xinjiang, the World Devil City sits on a desolate Gobi desert. Here, the wind seems to be the ruler of the world, constantly carving the Gobi with its powerful 'wind knives', creating a spectacular array of ever-changing Yardang landforms. There are many Yardang landforms in our country, which not only have scientific research value but also possess high tourism value. They show us the powerful and mysterious forces of nature, awakening in humans a reverence and admiration for the beauty of nature amidst desolation and grandeur. The World Devil City in Xinjiang Urho is an outstanding representative of China's Yardang landforms. It has been praised by 'China National Geography' as the first among 'China's three most beautiful Yardang landforms'. In 2020, it was newly promoted to a national 5A-level tourist attraction. The Yardang landforms displayed by the Devil City originate from billions of years of crustal movement and wind erosion. This place was once a freshwater lake, and dinosaurs were found to have lived and bred here. The influence of crustal movements caused the lake to disappear, replaced by the Gobi and sandstorms. The barren land next door became nature's canvas, with the wind leaving stripes of varying depths, forming the unique landscape of the Devil City. Today, the vicissitudes of time have endowed this land with endless charm, captivating people's hearts.

    GENEVIEVE RIOS

    This is probably the most fitting description of the desolate expanse of the desert

    From Burqin to Karamay, the nearly 300 kilometers journey features only one scenic spot along the way—the World Devil City. Why is it called this name? Because the wind has sculpted the Yardang landforms into various shapes, and coupled with the sound of the wind and sand, over time, it has earned this name. It is also almost a 100% must-visit spot on the Northern Xinjiang loop. The entire scenic area is very large, divided into several zones. After entering, you can take the eco-friendly vehicles provided by the park to visit each spot in turn. Among them, the most famous are the filming locations for movies and TV dramas such as 'Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains' and 'Hero'. When I visited, there were few people, and I was lucky enough to catch a post-rain rainbow and a stunning sunset, all of which added a beautiful filter to the scenery. Allocating about 3 hours for the entire site is about right, and before heading to Karamay, consider it a leisurely classic.

    Western Regions Epic | The Devil's City has no devils, only wind and sand

    Upon arriving at the world-famous Devil's City, which is a 5A tourist spot. As a child, I heard that because of the strong winds there, which howl and whistle, it sounds like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves, chilling to the bone and making one shudder... Hence, it was named 'Devil's City'. This time, I traveled 3500 kilometers from Shanghai to Xinjiang to visit the mysterious Devil's City haha. So excited. The place is vast, there's a map at the entrance so I took a photo for reference, and there are shuttle vehicles at each spot, even in the shape of a small train, which feels great driving through the desert and Gobi. They also play introductions of each scenic spot on the train, which is nice. The landscapes here are all shaped like things, and they almost exactly resemble the shapes described in the introductions... The key point is that they are all naturally formed, which makes me marvel at the wonders of nature. Not far into the park, there's camel riding for photos. It's 50 for a photo with the camel on the spot, and 150 for a ride and photo. My friends and I wanted to take photos for each other, but unexpectedly, the locals don't do cheap business, saying only the 150 option is available, totally ripping us off!! Humph, we don't care, we'll find our own place to take photos. After all, you can take photos anywhere here, so we had a Western cowboy epic photo shoot, and also a set of spicy Western Region girl selfies which were incredibly beautiful!

    A spectacle in the desert: Exploring the Wind City of Wuerhe, a tour of the Devil's City in Xinjiang

    Wuerhe Wind City, also known as the World Devil's City, is located in the Wuerhe mining area downstream of the Jiamu River on the northwest edge of the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang, about 100 kilometers away from Karamay City. There is a unique wind erosion landform here, strange in shape, called by the locals as 'Surumu Hak' and 'Shayitankerxi', meaning Devil's City. In fact, this scary Devil's City is a naturally formed Yardang landform, Yardang means 'steep hill' in Uighur. Yardang landform is a type of wind erosion landform formed in a dry and windy environment. The hills are blown by the wind to look like various buildings, some like the Six Harmonies Pagoda on the Qiantang River, some like the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, some like the Pyramids in Egypt, some like Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and even some like a soaring eagle. Because of its unique scenery, many movies choose to shoot the Devil's City as a location, such as the Oscar-winning film 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'. There are two routes to the Devil's City: one is to drive in, with a charge of 60 yuan per person, and you can choose your own route, and you will see various different scenes. There is a small train in the scenic area that you can take, currently there are 4 stops, each stop lasts for 10 minutes, enough for everyone to take pictures. Be sure to catch the small train, don't fall behind, the entire landform shape is very beautiful, and the photos taken are also very blockbuster. It is recommended to wear dark clothes, so the photos will look better. The first stop is where you can ride a camel, the second stop is where the film 'Seven Swords under Tianshan' was shot, there is a high viewing platform with a wide view. The third stop is a good place to watch the sunset, and it is also where 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' was shot. The last stop is the Dinosaur Park that children like.

This attraction is free! The parking lot has stairs leading to the top of the mountain, and it only takes 10 minutes to climb to the top, where you can overlook the vast oil field. It is recommended that friends who pass by can go and see, but it may not be necessary to go there specially. Big Oil Bubble Sculpture: Located on a square in Karamay City, it is suitable for taking pictures and is free. This is also the location of the K-1 well! tips: In addition, I would like to remind everyone that Karamay is not only famous for oil, but also produces a precious gem - gold silk jade. On the Gobi beach, there are crystal clear and colorful stones scattered, and many people will pick them up. If you are lucky, you might find a gem!
