Dunhuang Yadan National Geological Park

Dunhuang Yadan National Geological Park, located about 180 kilometers away to the northwest of Dunhuang City, covers an area of 398 square kilometers. It is the largest and the most beautiful Yadan Landform Group in Asia with the most developed geological morphology. The films and television works including Hero, Royal Legend, and the Monkey King were shot here.

The geological park is mainly made up of Yadan Landforms formed by wind erosion, belonging to the ancient Lop Nor. In the park there distribute various landforms such as Mongolian Yurt, Mongolia, Camel, Stone Bird, Stone Man, Stone Buddha, Stone Horse, etc.. They are in different poses and with different expressions, being true to life. It is just like a medieval city where the miniatures of many world famous buildings can be found here. After nightfall, strong wind makes a horrible sound as if thousands of wild animals are roaring, which is rather terrifying, hence the name "Yadan Monster City".

With its unique desert scenery, various geological wonders and ancient folklore, Dunhuang Yadan Geological Park attracts countless visitors and adventurers to explore the mysteries of Nature.
