One of the landmarks of Urumqi is Red Hill with its emerald greenery, pagoda and shrines. The hill rocks are reddish-brown, hence the name Red Hill. Historical sites on the hill once included the Ebo ( Stone cairn used by tribesmen to worship and sacrifice to their gods ). Built by the nomadic Oyrat Tribe; and the Temple of Jade Emperor and the Temple of the Great Buddha built in the Qing Dynasty ( 1644-1911 ). These splendid temples attracted swarms of visitors and made the hill a holy place where worshipers chanted Buddhist sutras and conducted religious ceremonies. Unfortunately, almost all the buildings were destroyed during the war, leaving only the pagoda at the top. today, local people regard the hill as the symbol of the city.
