🌄 [Route Highlights:A Journey Through Time and Fire]
The Flaming Mountains, a geographical landmark of Xinjiang, feature crimson-red mountains that resemble burning flames under the scorching sun, serving as the prototype for the “800-li Flaming Mountains” in Journey to the West.

Geological Exploration:Traverse a 2.5-kilometer underground exhibition hall that uses holographic projection technology to recreate the formation process of the Flaming Mountains
Cultural Decoding:Participate in the “Scorching Sun Challenge” in front of the Golden-Hooped Staff-shaped thermometer to experience Western Region culture at 45°C
