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.

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.

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!

📍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🥰🥰
