The Urho Ghost City is located beside the 217 National Road from Karamay to Burqin in Xinjiang, about 106 kilometers away from the urban area of Karamay. Tourists usually pass by here when they travel along the Northern Xinjiang Loop. The Ghost City is a typical Yadan landform, with huge stone pillars of various shapes standing side by side on the Gobi Desert, which is very spectacular and majestic.Wuerhe Ghost City is located at the wind outlet, also known as the "Wind City". There are often strong winds whistling between the stone pillars, like ghosts howling, and the feeling of horror is unique, which is why it is named the Ghost City. It was rated as one of the most beautiful Yadan landforms in China by the "National Geographic China" magazine in 2005. You may wish to come and see it when you pass by.The Attraction is very large, so you need to buy a train ticket to visit. The train here is a small train, which usually runs every 15 minutes or so. When there are few people, you need to wait a little longer. Tourists take the train to visit, and will stop at several viewing platforms along the way, where they can get off and take pictures. Generally, the train will stay in one place for a while, and tourists can take the train to continue the tour after taking pictures. If you have enough time and want to play more, you can wait for the next train. In this way, it takes about 2 hours to visit the whole circle.When you take a small train in the Attraction, there will be Audio Guide on the train at any time, so that tourists can have a deeper understanding of the connotations of these unique stone pillars. Some of them look like animals, some look like people, and each has its own characteristics. The Attraction has named the stone pillars with images, such as "Tiananmen", "Daqianmen", "Sphinx", "Guilin Landscape", "Beacon Tower", etc. In addition, you can also see many movie locations in the Attraction. Famous movies such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Seven Swordsmen", and "The Visitor on the Iceberg" were all filmed here. You can go and look for familiar scenes.
