Haven't you visited this film-worthy small town yet? Just copy the homework

Oil Town (the filming location of The Taking of Tiger Mountain) Aksai Kazakh Autonomous County Brolo Transfer Well Film and Television Base Near National Highway 215, Jiuquan City, Gansu Province Ticket: 30 yuan, sightseeing car is optional at 20 yuan/round trip 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.
