Xinjiang’s Wucai City is a tourist attraction renowned for its unique yardan landform and colorful landform features.
Wucai City is located within Jimusar territory in the eastern part of Xinjiang’s Gurbantünggüt Desert.
There is also a saying that Wucai City is located within the territory of Fuyun County, Xinjiang.
The landform features here are extremely unique, consisting of dozens of colorful hills. The continuous hills exhibit various colors such as ochre red, yellow-white, black-green, and more under the sun, resembling a natural palette.
These colors are due to hundreds of millions of years of geological changes, causing the hills here to accumulate different minerals, which were then shaped by wind, sun, and rain.
The yardan landform of Wucai City is well-organized, with hills resembling tents, resembling city outlines both from a distance and up close, hence its name Wucai City.
The sunset here is particularly beautiful, with red hills resembling burning flames, while hills of other colors resemble colorful gems, dazzling to the eye.
To travel to Wucai City, there is currently no public transportation, so you can only go by chartered car. Besides a few oil extraction points of oilfields around the scenic area, it is a desolate Gobi desert with no signs of human life.
Therefore, it is very necessary to bring your own food and drinking water. There are accommodation points within the scenic area, but conditions are very rudimentary, with no restrooms or washing facilities, so many tourists choose to return to Changji or Jimusar county for lodging.
In addition, Wucai City was also one of the locations for the film ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.’ Renowned actress Zhang Ziyi once showcased her talent here, adding a touch of cultural atmosphere and fame to Wucai City.
In general, Xinjiang’s Wucai City is a tourist attraction full of mysterious charm and unique allure. It is a place worth visiting for both explorers and ordinary tourists.
