#Boluo Well-Drilling Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Checked in at the Oil Town, the filming location of the movie 'The Nine-Tiered Demon Tower'
🌺Checked in at the Oil Town, a town full of legendary colors, and it's also the filming location of the movie 'The Nine-Tiered Demon Tower'.
🌺This place is now a film and television base. I personally think it's a great place for shooting, with ruins, unfinished buildings, etc. It feels a bit like the desert map in the game 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds'.
🌺Once you're here, you'll definitely be attracted by the natural scenery. The unique Danxia landform and the vast Gobi desert make you feel like you're in another world.
🌺It's about 110 kilometers from Dunhuang City to Aksei Oil Town, and it takes about 2 hours. We first played on the Qinghai side, came up from Dachaidan, and it took about four to five hours by car. ⚠️Important!! The navigation address is not 'Oil Town' but 'Boluo Transfer Well'.
🌺I got a lot of cool photos from the nearby Danxia landform. Here, you can admire the spectacular rock formations and marvel at the wonders of nature. Taking pictures here feels so good, the sense of picture is super strong, don't miss this unique town, come on a memorable trip to the Oil Town! And you can also get a bunch of cool photos!
Overnight, 200,000 people mysteriously disappeared from the town of Aksai Oil Town
Aksai Oil Town】 Located deep in the northwest of our country, this town is permeated with the wails of monsters everywhere. The streets are littered with damaged vehicles, and monsters crawl on the wreckage of houses, patrolling the area. From a distance, it looks like a town that has been overrun by monsters and turned into ruins. It is said that in 1983, 200,000 people relocated overnight for unknown reasons. There are various speculations and rumors, attacks, and accidents, etc. The town as it is seen now has become a ruin, where one can only vaguely make out the once-existing schools, restaurants, factories, and other buildings, reminiscent of scenes from the American film Silent Hill, as if you were really there. Aksai Oil Town, a location for many movies, is great for shooting retro and nostalgic photos. Before coming here, it might be helpful to watch movies that were filmed here, such as 'West Wind Fierce' and 'The Ghouls'. The town, due to its unique geological features of the Gobi Desert, has been turned into a film and television base, where once inside, you feel as if you are truly experiencing the fear from American monster movies, with various sound effects permeating the valley, as if you really went to Silent Hill.
The Doomsday Crisis of the Vanishing Oil Town
→Warm Tips:
1. If you don't want to be cursed by future generations for lacking manners, then don't leave anything behind in Lenghu, especially graffiti on the walls;
2. Since the town has been abandoned for nearly 30 years, many walls are on the verge of collapse, so please pay attention to safety when taking photos;
3. Be sure to prepare food and water in the car when heading there, as this place is not a tourist area and has no shops or restaurants;
4. Avoid arriving between 2-4 PM, as there is no place to cool off here, and if you don't want to experience the scorching sun, avoid these hours;
Photography Clothing Suggestions:
Western Cowboy - for capturing the themes of wandering and apocalypse
Bright Dresses - for capturing desolation and vitality
Recommend black clothing for the best photo results, avoid khaki colors
🚙Ticket Information:
Lenghu Oil Base Ruins: No admission fee (though this may change in the future)
Aksai Oil Town: 20 yuan per person. (Filming location for 'The Nine-Story Demon Tower', 'Fierce Wind', and other films with many man-made landscapes)
⛺If you have an RV or a camper, you can stay overnight to watch the starry sky, as there is absolutely no light pollution here, and the stars are visible to the naked eye. Those who are brave and in groups can try it, as the combination of ruins and desolation is quite chilling. If you just want to watch the stars, you can camp near Lenghu Town, maintaining a certain distance from the town to reduce light pollution. Make sure your vehicle has enough water and electricity for camping.
Nearby Attractions: Heidushan Moon Surface Geomorphology (vehicle access has been banned due to significant damage caused by driving)

It is said that in 1983, 200,000 people relocated overnight from this town for unknown reasons. There are various speculations and rumors, attacks, and accidents, etc. The town that is seen now has become a ruin, where one can barely make out the once-existing schools, restaurants, factories, and so on, resembling the scenes from the American film Silent Hill, making one feel as if they are truly there.
Visiting Suggestions
1. The sightseeing car at the entrance is optional. In fact, it's not too far, just a 10-minute walk. The horse-drawn carriage and the sightseeing car are the same price, but the carriage only goes to the monster landmark, while the sightseeing car will circle around the entire ruined town.
2. Oil Town is quite remote, so it is recommended to combine your trip with Dunhuang or Chaka.
3. There are no restaurants or snack bars nearby, so it is advised to bring your own dry food and mineral water.
4. The mountain roads are rugged, so it is suggested to hire a chartered car.
The originally abandoned Oil Town, due to the unique geology of the Gobi Desert, has been turned into a film and television base. Once inside, it feels as if you are truly experiencing the fear from an American monster movie, with various sound effects permeating the desolate valley, as if you have really gone to Silent Hill.
Welcome to the Western World, the oil town that vanished overnight

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.

In the most remote corner of Gansu Province, there is such a county town, which is located at the intersection of the three provinces of Qinghai, Gansu and Xinjiang. It is the only minority autonomous county in Gansu Province with Kazakh as the main body. The whole county is almost in the whole territory. Above the plain formed by the alluvial fan at the foot of Jinshan, it is Akesai County, and we are visiting the oil town of Axe, which was also the site of the county town decades ago. Boluojingjing Town, a town with an altitude of 2,800 meters, used to be the county seat of Axe County. It has only existed for more than 20 years in the history of China. This door, the window, the broken stone archway in front of the house, how many winds have been heard, and witnessed how many years have passed. The sun rises and the sunset, people come and go, a few years later, because of the movie "Nine Layers of Demon Tower", they are freed and reborn. When you walk into the oil town, you will find that there are broken walls and ruins everywhere. This scene is the most suitable match in my mind. It is a cowboy in the western United States, so you cant wear a fairy, and the scene is too far from the denim suit. Sunglasses, wide-brimmed hats, squeezing the feet to play cool, you will find that in addition to the beauty you are still so handsome, congratulations to the above-mentioned Taipai hi mention the earth.

The oil town was the old county town of Axe. With the development of the city, they have moved to the new county town dozens of kilometers to the north. So it was abandoned, but the buildings and some public facilities were left. It is similar to the seven corner wells that I used to go to in Hami, but the industry here is oil, so it is called the oil town, which is said to have been abandoned for nearly 20 years.
