The most beautiful scenery is the Flaming Mountain

The Flaming Mountain, located on the northern edge of the Turpan Basin in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is on the northern route of the ancient Silk Road, running from east to west. It stretches across the Turpan Basin, about 100 kilometers long and about 10 kilometers wide. About 40 kilometers south of the Flaming Mountain is the Gaochang country described in 'Journey to the West'. The 59th episode of 'Journey to the West', 'Tang Sanzang's Road to the Flaming Mountain and Sun Wukong's Adjustment of the Banana Fan', describes: '...The old man said: This place is called the Flaming Mountain. There is no spring or summer, and it is hot all year round. ...The mountain is sixty miles away from here, it is the necessary road to the west, but there are eight hundred miles of flames, and there is no grass around. ...' Every summer, under the red sun, the red mountain body shines, and the unique 'banana fan' shape of the Flaming Mountain is formed along the slope of the mountain, (which is the real image of 'Sun Wukong's Three Adjustments of the Banana Fan' in 'Journey to the West'), and the hot air rises to the sky, like a burning flame. In the distance is the Bogda Mountain with an average altitude of 4,000 meters. (Bogda Mountain is covered with snow all year round and is known as the pearl of the Tianshan Mountains). The Flaming Mountain scenic spot has Mantou Cloud, Cloud Ladder, Thousand Buddha Cave, Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain, Suspension Bridge and other places for tourists to visit. In the center of the scenic area stands a huge 'Golden Cudgel', which is a thermometer designed according to Sun Wukong's golden cudgel in 'Journey to the West', which records the temperature changes in real time, and is obsessed by netizens.
