Turpan Flaming Mountains - the world of Journey to the West! The scorching hot land where even Tripitaka Monk passed through!

Just looking at the name of the place, Tarim Basin in the Taklamakan Desert, brings to mind the harsh polar regions. Even in the evening, the temperature reached 43°C, making the Flaming Mountains a scorching hot place. The thought of a line of camel caravans passing through the area is romantic enough to stir my imagination! It must have been a picturesque sight...
