Yadan Devil City | A masterpiece of nature in the great Northwest

It is an important part of the Dunhuang World Geopark in China, and also one of the three most beautiful Yadan landforms in China. The Dunhuang Yadan landforms are the largest in scale, most mature in geological morphology, and most valuable for viewing among all Yadan landform communities found in the world so far. Due to the fragmented and bizarre terrain, it easily gives rise to the psychological suggestion of an 'ancient city' and the atmosphere of ruins. The Yadan landforms are unpredictable and can be described as having a myriad of shapes. According to research, the 'seventy-two changes' involve complex transformation relationships, such as a square hill possibly turning into a pyramid or a flat-topped tower, while the serrated Yadan may be the 'prototype' of the conical or whaleback Yadan. This place is the Silk Road's western exit from Dunhuang, leading to the northern and central routes of the Western Regions, and it is also a place filled with magical charm. It is said that the fierce wind cuts like a knife, and the drizzle stabs like a sword; the long process of wind erosion has endowed it with a hellish landscape. Entering Yadan is like entering a medieval castle, with inner walls, streets, buildings, squares, sculptures, and everything else you would expect, as if designed by a masterful designer, meticulously laid out, with the only absence being any plants. In the sea of sharpened stones and sand, there stand clay statues of varying heights, scattered in an orderly fashion, each with a unique shape. 📍Address: 80 kilometers northwest of Dunhuang city on the Gobi desert 🎫Ticket: Ticket 50, shuttle bus 70 yuan, off-road vehicle 500 yuan. Please note that off-road vehicle tickets must be purchased at the ticket office. 👉How to play: After entering the gate of the scenic area, immediately board the scenic area shuttle bus (about one every 15 minutes during the off-peak season), which will take you to four viewing points. ✅Best time to visit The Yadan landforms are too stark under strong light and appear dead white, so the best time to visit is during sunset. It is recommended to enter the scenic area 1-2 hours before sunset (make sure to ask if it is the sunset shift), so that there is enough time at each stop. ✅Suggested duration of visit: Depends on the time of entry, normally 1-2 hours is sufficient. ✅Although there is no highway to the scenic area, the road is straight with few cars, and the navigation estimates a two and a half hour drive, it actually takes less than 2 hours to arrive. Pay attention to speed measurements in several sections. ✅After leaving Dunhuang or Aksai, it is a desolate no-man's land, so it is advised to fill up on gas in advance. ✅Along the way, you will pass by the ancient city of Dunhuang and the Yumen Pass ruins.

Yadan landform 'Devil's City'

-Due to the fragmented and bizarre terrain, it easily forms the psychological suggestion of an 'ancient city' and the atmosphere of ruins; it is easy to get lost, with myriad changes in light and shadow, and the wind is harsh, always giving people a sense of 'ghostly' fear. The Danxia and Yadan in arid areas can be said to be the most confusing group in the Chinese geomorphological concept. 'Yadan' is a 'local product' of the northwest, derived from the Uighur word 'Yardangs', which means 'steep earth mound'. It is formed by the wind erosion of unconsolidated, loose river and lake sediments and is widely distributed in arid areas. The basis for the development of 'Danxia' is 'red continental clastic rock', 'flat top, steep body, gentle foot', the rock is hard, and the age is much older than Yadan. The endless sand piled up into a castle 🏰 outside the wind blowing loudly, like the devil 👹 came, walking in the scenic area feels like the devil is cutting your face with a 🔪, really shocked by the natural landscape, does anyone really live here?

The first experimental camping of the Yadan National Geological Park is the best way to get close to Yadan and truly discover its charm. In the evening, looking at the camel thorn in the sand dunes on the edge of the camp, suddenly a sand lizard jumped out, the camouflage color was almost the same as the sand, with a little red, the head was like a snake head, and the small eyes were squatting. Slowly approaching, it did not run, but turned to look at me curiously, as if to tell me Hi.

The Gobi version of the travel photo is coming. This set of photos is the most difficult to shoot, because there are no props, my background is absurd or absurd. Figure 1 and Figure 2 are my favorite, there is a feeling of going out of the picture. It was indeed my feeling at the time, in such an environment, people really wanted to escape. We enjoy the prosperity and convenience of the city. We often say that we want to find a clean. But our "clean" is accompanied by flowers, birds, fish and insects, accompanied by people with love, but also with the sea, poetry and distant... , after all, animals that are lonely.

Desert, Gobi; long river, sunset. This is the Yadan Devil City. The solitary smoke is gone. Take two lines of geese to make up... "Devil City" is the title because the wind blows the stone at night. It will be named after a ghostly crying voice. In the no-man's land, the vast Gobi is a light red rock that does not end. Like the ancient city abandoned by nature, the shapes are different but arranged in an orderly manner. Year-round sand, so there is not even a plant [breezes] here. Although there is no luck to hear that shocking ghost, but walking into Yadan, I have already felt like I have stepped into the lonely planet. I also remembered the old saying: Human beings are really too small in front of nature.

It took a few kilometers to ride in the Yadan National Geological Park. It feels very relaxing. It is a cool experience to ride a bicycle on a desert road with no people and cars. On the way, I met a player who participated in the Dunhuang Cycling Competition that day and gave him a commemorative photo. Another cool thing is to rent a buggy to take pictures. The driver takes you to several of Yale's hottest spots and won't miss those classics.

Dunhuang Yadan National Geological Park, shooting people to shoot animals is a good place, no matter what kind of person you are, there is always a scene worthy of your temperament. On the small sand dunes on our camp, I saw a small lizard. After I found out, I ran for a while and then stopped. I found that I was not malicious. I looked at me curiously. I just took it and became mine. Wild small model.

Yadan National Geological Park, also known as Yadan Devil City, is located about 108km northwest of Dunhuang City and about 100km northwest of Yumenguan.

There are two areas in the scenic area, the north line and the south line. Visitors can take the shuttle bus to play the northern line and then end the tour, about 1.5-2 hours.

That sky, who is dancing in long sleeves, that string of wind chimes, who forgot to listen. The soft sand of Mingsha Mountain is the baptism of the sky. Think of it, never forget it. Crescent Moon Springs, but a daughter tears. Light up the desert, lost my heart. Yangguan millennium stood upright and dried up the flute. The dusty memories, the dawn of the East, the storm. Yumen Gate is on the south of the river, Shule. Hu Ma, only my big man. The swan song of the millennium is the picture of life. Yadan National Geological Park In the endless desert, you stand into your own mountain and forget the time. Strong flag, single step in the Central Plains.

On the 8th day of the Great Northwest Ring Road, the biggest attraction for me was the Yadan Devil City. It seems that there is nothing special about it, but in fact it is one of the six major devil cities in China, and it is the east entrance of Lop Nur in Xinjiang. This kind of title is enough to make it full of attraction in my heart. The mound here has experienced the weathering of the years and has become a large-scale hilly community formed as if it were indeed a rock. There is no smoke in the place, except the Gobi is a weathered rock mound. The natural power is unimaginable. The tour guide said that the sand here is shaving every day and still acts on these mounds, so the Yadan here is changing every day. Maybe tomorrow, it is completely different. a look. When we finished the tour and returned to the entrance by bus, the clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker. We have already started the car and decided to leave, but the clouds suddenly broke through a gap, and a large piece of Jesus light slanted down. This large piece of Jesus light is like the summoning of God. In this mysterious land, such light seems to be more mysterious, as if another time and space are talking to us.

Yadan Sunset | I stand on the road, watching the wind and see the Gobi to see the sunset. I walked on the black Gobi and walked forward without looking back. Far from hearing someone shouting at me, I don't want to look back. I heard someone ask, are you alone? Yes, a person, who came from Jiangnan, has read about the sunset and loneliness of the desert. Yumenguan, commonly known as Xiaofangpancheng, is said to have been named after the Central Plains. In the territory of Dunhuang City at the western end of the Hexi Corridor, it is located about 90 kilometers northwest of Dunhuang City. It is one of the two gates of the Western Han Dynasty. It is the gateway to the west of the Silk Road and the middle road of Dunhuang. It has entered the Western Region since ancient times. Portal.

Different time to enter the Yadan landform group, the feeling is completely different. In the early morning, the sun was just rising, the sun was rising, the sun was shining, the golden light was shining, and the weather was tens of thousands; at noon, I walked into the Yadan landform, the sun was shining overhead, and the strange shadows around me, the strange Yadan group, seemed to be everywhere. The smoke was lingering; in the evening, I entered the Yadan group. The huge red sun was swaying in the west, the breeze was around, the head was shining brightly, and the beauty was enjoyed. After the night fell, the sharp wind whistled like a million. The beast is roaring and creepy, hence the name "Devil City."
