Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Flaming Mountains is part of the Turpan area of Xinjiang. It is located next to Huogao Expressway, on the east side of Turpan City. It is a scenic geological landscape dominated by vibrant red sandstone landforms. Historically, it is where the ancient country Gaochang used to be. Visitors can see the majestic landforms and the historical exhibition of Gaochang. “Journey to the West”-themed statues can also be found here. The Flaming Mountain Scenic Area is divided into two parts: underground and above-ground. The underground part is a gallery-style exhibition hall. There are statues and written passages related to the ancient city of Gaochang. After passing through the underground scenic spot, visitors can go to the level above ground to see the beautiful, fiery red sandstones and cliffs.

Other visitors' reviews of Flaming Mountain Scenic Area
Show More ReviewsThis scenic area is very large and is not connected to the adjacent Flaming Mountains scenic area; both require separate tickets. Inside, there is a large thermometer for measuring the surface temperature. It mainly features Danxia landforms. The main purpose is to experience the high temperatures of Turpan, a city where the soles of your shoes can melt.
