One of the iconic landscapes of Ur Devil City, similar to Egypt’s famous Sphinx, is the Yadan landform formed by hundreds of millions of years of wind erosion and has been standing in this endless desert.
Don't think that the Sphinx here means the Sphinx of Egypt. But after I came here, I felt more amazed than the Sphinx here, because it is a masterpiece of nature. Through the wind and the weathering of nature, the original shapeless rock was created and became the sphinx. Looking at the cracks on the ground, I had to sigh the magic of nature.
The Devil City is a mysterious world like a maze under the erosion of the sand for many years. ⛔ The stones here are huge like mountains, some showing colored stripes under the sun, and quite the charm of Danxia landform. It is a perfect place to taste the magic of nature from zero distance.
The tour here is based on three points of view and seven points of imagination, and the strange shapes that nature has shaped by wind and rain will have a combination of gods and gods. The sphinx is easy to see, and the similarity is extremely high.
Long-term differentiation, the result is what you say like. The sun is poisonous, there is no tree, I think this scenic spot is best not to go. Walking in such a large area of Xinjiang, this kind of place can be seen everywhere.
