Remember The Flaming Mountain? Can you still recall the clip of Qi Tian Dasheng in the TV series Journey to the West fighting the Iron Fan Princess in the Flame Mountain? I think that growing up watching Journey to the West should not easily forget the Flame Mountain, so far, the burning fire, the Flame Mountain that even the monsters dare not set foot on, has become an indelible classic, and it is the childhood memories of countless people.
However, the TV series is ultimately dramatic, and it is still very different from the flame mountain in reality. Speaking of this, Jun Jun thought of a joke, once a friend wanted to go to Xinjiang to play, wanted me to recommend a tourist route, when I carefully planned for him, he vetoed it. I am very confused, because the whole process I am very dedicated to him in the arrangement, the driver is used is an old driver with many years of Xinjiang travel experience, the hotel is star standard, the attractions are the most elite attractions, there is no reason to refuse ah. Finally, I couldn't help but ask him why, and he replied: I don't dare to go, there is a mountain of flames, I am afraid of heating myself up. Ha ~ I really think he watched the Journey to the West too much, after my patient explanation, he finally plucked up the courage to participate in the itinerary I designed for him. Although this is a joke, it is not difficult to see that people still lack understanding of the Flame Mountain, and today, Junjun will introduce the Flame Mountain in Xinjiang for everyone.
Flame Mountain, located in Turpan City, Xinjiang, is famous for its "heat", known as Chishi Mountain in ancient times, and "Kyzyltag" in Uyghur, meaning "Red Mountain". The total length of the flaming mountain is more than 100 kilometers and the width is 10 kilometers, but the altitude is only 500 meters.
Even the youkai are afraid of the Flame Mountain? Ha ~ this originated from the Journey to the West, in the Journey to the West, most of the Places where the Tang monks went had monsters, but when they arrived at the Flame Mountain, they did not see any trace of the monsters, so there was a saying that the monsters were also afraid of the Flame Mountain. However, the flame mountain in reality is also a bit terrifying, here the TongShan is bald, there is no grass, even the birds do not dare to fly here. Especially in the middle of summer every year, the red sun of the Flame Mountain is in the sky, the russet mountain is illuminated by the scorching sun, the conglomerate is scorching and shining, and the hot air flow rolls up, which is really like a raging fire, and the tongue of fire stirs the sky. I thought, if there are really monsters, they will be heated up here.
Legend has it that the temperature of the Flaming Mountain is 89 degrees? In fact, this refers to the surface temperature of the Flame Mountain, which can reach 89 degrees, and its maximum summer temperature is 47.8 ° C. It belongs to the typical continental arid desert climate, where the sand nest, eggs can be directly roasted, it is really worthy of the name "China's hottest".
Why is The Flame Mountain so hot? I think many people will be more curious about this problem, this is because the Flame Mountain is far from the ocean, and the time of sunshine is very long, and the Air Flow is blocked by the Tianshan Mountain, causing it to not rain here for many years, and most of the mountains here are not covered with grass and trees, and the heat cannot be dissipated, which has caused the situation of high temperature for a long time. There is also a saying that there is coal under the flame mountain here, and these coals produce spontaneous combustion, it can be imagined that the coal is burned, but it is not hot feet, ha ~
Flame Mountain as a national 4A level tourist attraction, every year attracts thousands of tourists not afraid of the heat for it, some people are to see if it is as hot as the legend, some people are to complete the childhood wishes, in the real Flame Mountain to find qi Tian Dasheng, looking for the Eight Commandments Brothers, looking for that childlike fun. The Flame Mountain Scenic Area, also for tourists, specially built many character statues that appear in the Journey to the West, especially the thermometer in the shape of the golden hoop stick in the scenic spot, which reminds people of the story of Sun Monkey borrowing the iron fan Princess Basho fan to extinguish the flames of the Flame Mountain, which is very interesting.
Many people may ask: How can people live when the Flame Mountain is so hot? In fact, we don't have to worry about this problem, although the high temperature is unbearable, but the mountain of the Flame Mountain is a natural underground reservoir dam, which blocks the groundwater under the Gobi gravel belt, there are many springs exposed, so that many oases are born in the valley ravines, these oases have bred grape ditches, Taoer ditches, Suber ditches, etc., these valleys have beautiful scenery, melons and fruits, nourishing the local people.
When you come to The Flame Mountain, you can challenge yourself to climb the mountain or ride a camel to test how strong your endurance in the high temperature is; you can visit attractions such as the Thousand Buddha Cave and the Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain; you can taste the sweet melon fruits, and you can sing and dance with local Uighur friends, so that you can experience the real enthusiasm.
