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.

📍Karamay Here, there is only wind and oil ⛽️ This is the Yardang landform we learned about in geography books, stepping on it feels like cotton candy, and my world book has turned another page🏜️ The World Devil City scenic area is divided into 5️⃣ points, and the ticket is 42🎫r My partner and I chose to hike in from the last point, which is the dinosaur bones, and then the sightseeing car costs 20 per person, so we didn't choose the sightseeing car because we felt that the scenery inside was all similar, so we chose to hike We chose some of the better-looking buildings to take photos, and it's really easy to take great shots here, I suggest that sisters who go there wear jeans or khaki-colored clothes and dresses, it really makes for great photos, the main thing is to wear bright colors, the scenery is also absolutely beautiful🥰🥰

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 place seems not to belong to Earth The Yardang landform has been eroded by wind and snow It's like an alien city ❄️ The cover of heavy snow adds a lot of mystery During sunrise and sunset, the sunlight sprinkles on the snow The interplay of light and shadow is enchanting and bewitching 🤔 I really want to go there again To wash away this heavy work smell~

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.
