On August 26, we set out from Turpan to Flame Mountain . "Turpan" Uyghur "is the lowest place", which belongs to Turpan- Hami Basin . The basin is dry and hot, with no grass growing, the sunshine is long, the basin is low, and the heat is difficult to dissipate, resulting in an extremely dry and hot climate, so Turpan has become the "hottest place". Flaming Mountain is located on the northern edge of in Turpan Basin, . It is called "Kiziltak" in Uyghur, which means Red Mountain. Whenever summer is midsummer, the red sun is in the sky, the brown mountains are shining under the scorching sun, the sandstone shines brightly, and the hot air flow rolls and rises, just like the blazing flames, and the tongue of fire stirs the sky, hence the name Flame Mountain.
The name of Flaming Mountain is not only hot, but also because its mountain is made of red sandstone and contains a high iron quality. The ochre-red mountain stretches for 100 kilometers, the widest is 10 kilometers, and the altitude is 500 kilometers, shaped like a red dragon. Under the strong radiation of the sun, the red sandstone rippled with light waves, and from a distance, it looked like a blazing flame. As the poem by Cen Shen says: "The fire clouds are all over the mountain and have not yet bloomed, and the birds dare not come thousands of miles away." The famous Fire Mountain is also due to Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West". The story of Sun Wukong borrowing a banana fan in Fire Mountain made Fire Mountain famous.
At the foot of the mountain is erected on the stone tablet of "Flame Mountain", and not far away is the Fire Mountain Underground Palace Tour Area. This circular building exhibition hall includes the Journey to the West Cultural Corridor, the Flaming Mountain Geography and Culture Hall, the Gaochang Historical Celebrity Hall and the Leisure Shopping Center. The building is designed with ingenious design as an alchemy furnace. Legend has it that the Flame Mountain is the charcoal that fell into the mortal world when Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. The circular building "alchemy furnace" has a diameter of more than 20 meters and a depth of 4 meters from the ground, opening up a cool world for people to visit.
Hours West Cultural Corridor in the exhibition hall consists of twenty-four relief groups based on the important storylines in "Journey to the West"; the Department of Geography and Culture displays the miniature sand table of the Flaming Mountain and murals and reliefs introducing the style and culture of Turpan; Gaochang is one of the 36 of the ancient , the old name of Turpan, and the Hall of Historical Celebrities shows the deeds of celebrities from all dynasties here. In the central patio of the "Alchemy Furnace", a thermometer with a diameter of 60 cm and a height of 12 meters stands, clearly indicating the high temperature of 56℃ at that time. According to information, the golden cudgel modeling thermometer has obtained the best certificate in the world of Guines.

walked out of the "Alchemy furnace" exhibition hall, a wave of heat hits the face, and the scorching sun burns the skin. The theme of the square is "Tang Sanzang Road blocks the Flame Mountain, Sun Xingzhe Three-tuning Banana Fan", which creates large statues of Sun Wukong, Iron Fan Princess and Bull Demon King , as well as stalls for burying sand and boiling eggs. At that time, you can eat boiled eggs. I didn't dare to stay in the scorching red sun, so I hurried back to the underground palace.
