The Flame Mountain Scenic Spot is located next to the Lianhuo Expressway on the east side of Turpan City, about 30 kilometers from the urban area by car. It is a scenic spot dominated by fiery red reddish brown sandstone landforms. In history, this place was the seat of the ancient country of Gaochang. According to the legend, it is the place where the Tang monk and his disciples used plantain fans to extinguish the fire in "Journey to the West". It is a must-see place for many tourists to Turpan.
The Flaming Mountain Scenic Area is divided into two parts, the underground and the ground. It takes about 1-2 hours to play around. Generally, tourists will go to the underground part first when they come here. This is a promenade-style exhibition hall. The roof of the exhibition hall is set as a sky-like lighting, which is very distinctive. In the exhibition hall, there are statues and introductions of figures related to the ancient country of Gaochang. You can visit them to learn about the history of the ancient country of Gaochang. There are also souvenir shops and dining bars in the exhibition hall, where you can enter and consume according to your personal interests.
After visiting the underground scenic spot, you can go to the above-ground part. The landscape of the above-ground part is the fiery red rock and cliff landform, which is very spectacular and very suitable for taking pictures. There are many Journey to the West-themed sculptures on the ground square, as well as a huge thermometer called the Golden Cudgel.
The weather in Huoyan Mountain in summer is very hot, the temperature can reach as high as 58 degrees, and the climate is very dry. It must be a special experience to visit here at this time. But pay attention to bring plenty of drinking water when you play, and prepare sun hats, sunglasses, headscarves and other sun protection and dustproof equipment to avoid heat stroke.
