This otherworldly landscape in Karamay, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region was forged over millions of years of erosion by wind, sand and rain. Known as World Ghost Town, these striking yardang landforms were used as the backdrop for the 2026 Chinese martial arts blockbuster "Blades of the Guardians." With countless ridges, stone towers and canyons, this desert boasts a naturally raw, cinematic feel. Follow the documentary "Splendid Xinjiang" and explore this extraordinary landscape. #ReelviewsRealJourneys #CoolChina
