The circumference of Yaomo Mountain is about 16 kilometers, and the surface area of the mountain is about 40 square kilometers. From the perspective of landform and geographical location, it is located in the southern edge of Jungar Basin, which belongs to the desert area. The strong dry and hot climate has left a deep imprint on this place. The spring and autumn are relatively humid, and the drought is relatively inconspicuous. The summer is dry and the heat is sufficient, and the winter is long and cold.
There was a folk song among the local folks that "the cloud covers the demon mountain, and the water floats on the ground". In the Qing Dynasty, soldiers and civilians who built dams in the fields, in order to pray for sunshine and rain in Yaomo Mountain, built Bala Temple on Spider Mountain at the end of Yaomo Mountain to enshrine eight gods related to farming, including the God of Earth, the God of Agriculture, the God of Field, and the God of Insects. Good luck. Therefore, Yaomo Mountain is also called Fushou Mountain and Lingying Mountain. Now the beautiful wish has become a reality. Now the Yaomo Mountain is full of trees. You can see the snow-capped Bogda Peak in the east, the red sunset in the West Mountain in the west, and the carps leaping and chasing the waves in the north. In the south, you can see Yanxi Opera among the rippling clear water.
