No trip to Turpan is complete without a visit to the Flaming Mountains. These iconic red sandstone mountains are not only visually stunning but also hold great cultural and historical significance. Legend has it that the mountains got their name from the intense heat and glowing red color they emit during the summer months. In winter, the mountains take on a different charm, with their snow-covered peaks creating a picturesque winter wonderland. Exploring the Flaming Mountains during this time allows you to enjoy the serene beauty of the landscape without the scorching heat of summer.
