Orku Monster City Where Ghosts Go

2005-7-14 21:10:40

Orku Monster City: In ancient times, it used to be a large freshwater lake. However, due to long-term geographical movement, it becomes what it now looks. Its complex landform has attracted millions of tourists. Some mountains look like pagodas in South China, some like Temple of Heaven in Beijing, some like pyramids in Egypt, and some even like Angkor in Cambodia. Here is a place to free your imagination. You can relate what you see to any subjects in your head.

When the night comes, blast breaks out. The sky is blotted out by flying sand and stones. Monstrous sound of wind adds to the charnel atmosphere. That's how it gets its name " Orku Monster City".

How to Get there: Take a bus to Changji, which is about 35 km from Urumchi and then rent a car to get there, which will take about one hour.
