    Built in the early 1950s for oil exploration and development, Lenghu was the site of a major oil well eruption in 1955, attracting a large number of oil workers and their families. At its peak, the population exceeded 100,000, earning it the nickname "Little Hong Kong in the Gobi Desert." Lenghu oilfield production plummeted in 1980, and excessive radioactivity in drinking water was detected in the early 1990s. Aksai County was relocated in 1995, and the town was abandoned. In 2015, the film "Nine-story Demon Tower" was filmed here, bringing it back into the public eye. Off-holiday, the area is sparsely visited, and it appears rather desolate. If you're not particularly fond of this area, don't go there.
