Xinjiang Devil City


The name ‘Devil City’ is given by Mongolian and Kazak sheepherders in this area, because horrific and roaring gale often happens in the grotesque hills. In fact, it is a Yardang landform formed through millions of years of wind erosion. After the 

hamiancient lake dried, the ground erodes forming a series of parallel ridges and grooves. The mounds seem like ancient castles, palaces, pagodas, towers, animals and birds. The stunning spectacle attracts many tourists at home and abroad.

The ecological attraction, taking Aisi Kaixiar Anicent Post Stall as the center, includes four major scenic areas: East City, South City, West City and North City. The ancient castle, Goddess Peak, Thousand Buddha Mountain, and Colorful Stone Beach are the major scenic spots in East City. For the ancient castle, the adobe color is very similar to that of the natural environment, so it is difficult to find it. The ruined castle walls still contain peep holes for defense and observation. Many mauve tiles in different sizes can be found in the ruins. The Colorful Stone Beach is like a kaleidoscope of gorgeous colors. Some stones are blood-red and some look like white jade.

Sphinx-like site, Golden Mausoleum Stone Tiger, and ancient Populus Euphratica forest are the major ones in South City. West City mainly includes Heavenly Gate Cave, Twin-Tower Peak, and Stone Mushroom Beach and the North City present Double-Head Horse, Divine Tortoise in “Vast Sea”, Aisi Kaixiar Ancient Town and Rose Willow Beach.
