The South Baxian Yadan landform has distinct features, with natural landscapes such as "Emperor's Tomb" and "Thousand Army Tents". The place name comes from eight female geological team members who were looking for oil resources, and their memorial statues stand here. The terrain here is peculiar, with undulating sand dunes and various peculiar shapes in the desert.
