The Flame Mountain (火焰山) is about 200 km away from Urumqi (乌鲁木齐) in Xinjiang. It is in a place with many high mountains around it. The mountain came into being millions of years ago when the earth was changing a lot. It is much hotter than nearby places. If you want to enjoy the feeling of a hot shower in summer, it's the right place to go!
On hot summer days, it can get hotter than 80℃. Try to cook eggs or cakes in the sand and they will be ready in a few minutes!
Does rain help make it cooler? People hardly see rain in 10 out of the 12 months in a year. Why? For most of the time, the raindrops dry in the hot air before they get to the ground.
There aren't any plants on the top of the mountain, only red rocks (岩石). They make the whole mountain look red. In hot air and strong sunshine, the mountain looks like a burning flame. That's why the mountain is called The Flame Mountain.
