Coupled with high altitude, thin air, and long hours of sunshine, it forms a typical continental desert climate, characterized by dryness, coldness, and a lot of wind and sand. The South Baxian Yadan landform has distinct features, with natural landscapes such as "Emperor's Tomb" and "Thousand Army Tents". The place name comes from eight female geological team members who were looking for oil resources, and their memorial statues stand here. The terrain here is peculiar, with undulating sand dunes and various peculiar shapes in the desert. Due to the influence of geomagnetism, the compass will fail here, and due to the special terrain, people are prone to lose their way, hence the name South Baxian Devil City.

Since the rain had just finished the night before, the hills of the ones turned into mounds, and a pile of silt was soft. But the view above is really good, the view is wide, and the view is high. The only trouble is that after each foot, there must be at least 2 pounds of mud, and no four or five bottles of mineral water are afraid of being cleaned.
