The Flaming Mountains of China look UNREAL😍

A road trip to The Flaming Mountains, the hottest place in China where temperatures can reach over 80 degrees Celsius in the summer. These mountains form the northern boundary of the Turpan Depression, making it the second or third lowest point on the planet. In the summer, when the waves of desert heat dance over the red stripes, it quite literally looks like flaming mountains! Not only is this place interesting geographically, it is also where the famous movie "Journey to the West" was filmed. Many historians come here just to learn more about the ancient silk-road era. It's definitely a very difficult place to reach, but the geography and landscapes are some of the most unique in the world! Would you road trip to these flaming mountains? 📍The Flaming Mountains, Turpan, Xinjiang 📸 ig @cherstravels #awesomepic #campingglamping #mytripvlog #summervacation #passionpassport #celebratewithtrip
