China’s Death Valley as World’s Second-Lowest Depression
Turpan City is located in the middle of Xinjiang and close to Hami to the east, Bayingolin to the west and south, Urumqi to the north. It is an olive-shaped intermountain basin in the east of the Tianshan Mountains, surrounded by mountains on all sides. The Aydingkol Lake in the south Turpan, 155 meters (509 feet) below sea level, is the second-lowest depression in the world. Turpan is widely known by many visitors because of the Flaming Mountain. It is the hottest place in China, with the highest temperature of 47.8 ℃ (118 ℉) in summer and 89 ℃ (192 ℉) on the surface. Tourists can also explore the magic Karez system which is actually a unique water intake project in Xinjiang and witness the ancient city ruins in the desert.
