Devil's City: A Fantastical Stone Forest Sculpted by Nature🪨

🌪️ Devil's City, also known as Urho Wind City, is located in the northwest of Urho District, Karamay City, Xinjiang. This unique landscape has been formed by long-term wind erosion, creating various natural 'castles.' On windy days, strong winds pass through the rock crevices, producing eerie howling sounds, reminiscent of ghostly wails, hence the name 'Devil's City.' When I first stepped into this mysterious place, it felt like being in an alien world from a sci-fi movie, with the rugged scenery inspiring awe. 🪨 Spectacular Yardang Landforms The most distinctive feature of Devil's City is its unique Yardang landforms. The rocks here have been shaped by thousands of years of wind erosion and rainwater, forming a vast natural stone forest. The stone forest features various bizarre shapes, such as ancient castles, towers, and animals, which are breathtaking, like masterpieces sculpted by nature. During sunrise or sunset, the sunlight casts a golden glow on these stone pillars and rocks, making the entire land appear even more mysterious and magnificent. This place is also a paradise for photography enthusiasts, with every angle offering stunning shots.
