Welcome to the Western World, the oil town that vanished overnight

🖤Great Northwest Loop•Oil Town Taking a few days off, not being a mom, just being myself🖤 • On the way from Da Qaidam to Dunhuang, there is a mysterious oil town. There are many legends about this town, and the most classic one is that in 1983, the Aksai oil town was attacked overnight for unknown reasons. By the next morning, the bustling town had disappeared without a trace, leaving only ruins. This place is also the filming location of the movie 🎬 'The Ghouls', which adds a touch of mystery to the town. • Personally, I think it's worth a shot for friends who like photography, as there are many interesting corners to capture, especially this skull ☠ which is the most photogenic spot. If you're not specifically here for photography, there's no need to make a special trip. • About visiting 🎬 There are sightseeing cars and pony carts available in the scenic area. I recommend taking the sightseeing car because it will take you around the area, whereas the pony cart only drops you off at the core scenic area, which is sufficient for taking photos. • About the outfit 🎩 It's better to dress cool, in black, denim, brown, or a wasteland style, all of which are quite suitable. • Although the scenic area is small, it's not a disappointment and is worth a visit.
