Qitai Devil City - China Travel

introduce

When it comes to the Devil City, people will naturally think of the Urho Devil City in Karamay. Its famous reputation came to the whole country with the oil development in Karamay in the 1950s. Its uncanny shape, bizarre structure, and frightening howls of ghosts and ghosts have fascinated many tourists.

However, Qitai's Devil City is far superior to Urho Devil City in terms of its scale and charm, and the degree of its resemblance to a castle alone makes Urho Devil City much inferior. It's just that Qitai Devil City is hidden deep in the desert Gobi, and has been unknown until the 1970s when it was discovered by geologists, thus unveiling its mystery.

There are many lifelike rock shapes in Devil City, such as Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Potala Palace in Ximao and so on. Some are like a peasant woman returning late, a strong man watching the sky, a monk chanting scriptures, Bajie sleeping, cattle farming, pandas standing, carp out of water, and monkeys guarding mountains. These human-like shapes are all lifelike.

The Devil City is not made by human beings, it is completely the handwriting of nature. I don't know how many years ago, due to the movement of the earth's crust, some sandstone-structured mountains were formed here. After tens of millions of years of erosion, these relatively soft rocks have formed strange shapes and caves of various sizes. The Devil City was formed under the action of this external force.
