Relics of Lenghu Oil Base

我从远方赶来，赴你一面之约～这里人烟稀少，适合自驾游，原本几万人聚居的石油小镇，一夜之间被遗弃，不晓得发生了什么，令人唏嘘…据说九层妖塔/西风烈都曾在这里取景，荒凉的氛围感极强

The site of Lenghu Oil Base is located 11 kilometers northeast of Lenghu Town, Haitibet Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. This is a small town built by oil extraction in the 1950s. After the oil resources were exhausted, the people moved away, and the town was gradually abandoned. There are former homes, shops, schools, theaters, hospitals, etc. in the ruins, as if describing the past experience.

In the 1950s, Cold Lake was among the four major oil fields in China. It was prosperous for a while, but soon the oil dried up and returned to the barren life. This is a town with a short life. How many people came and went, how many fires burned and extinguished. The desert where the grass is not born, is bustling because of the arrival of people, and returns to silence because of the departure of people. The years of passion burning shine in the long river of history. Wind and sand and time will destroy everything, only memory can be eternal.

From Qinghai to Dunhuang in Gansu, it passes through a few hundred kilometers of no-man's land. There is an abandoned oil town halfway through, thousands of houses with bricks and tiles, all kinds of service facilities are perfect, banks, post offices, shops, auditoriums, etc. The oilmen who fought the war left, salute them!

The oil workers are breathtaking and on a spectacular scale

The scale is spectacular and the oil workers are breathtaking

Lenghu Town is lonely, but Aiken Spring fire, the surrounding Yadan landform Devil City also sucks powder, I hope the cold lake town will rejuvenate.
