Wuerhe Ghost City
Northwest of the Junggar Basin is the Wuerhe (also "Urho") region, where there is a unique wind-eroded geological feature commonly referred to as "wind city" because of the frequently howling winds. Due to its eeriness, it is also commonly referred to as "Ghost City". At night, strong wind blowing, sand flying and stones rolling, make frightful and dreaded sounds. The native Mongolian people call it "Sulumuhak," while the local Kazakh people name it "Shytirkrsi," and both names have the same meaning - Ghost Castle.
The Wuerhe Ghost City, also known as the "Wuerhe Wind City", is located 100km northeast of Karamay City, against the Halahlat Mountain, covering an area of about 30sqkm.
