Bird View of Urho Ghost City in Winter Royalty Free Stock Photo

Snow-covered Urho Ghost City at sunset time in winter. Yardang landforms in XinjiangÃ¯Â¼ÅChina. Located 100 km northeast of Karamay City, against the Halahlat Mountain, northwest of the Junggar Basin is the Urho region, an unique wind-eroded geological feature which is commonly referred to as wind city because of the frequently howling winds. Due to its eeriness, it is also commonly referred to as Ghost City. After years of wind erosion, hills here were effected into various figures. At night, strong wind blowing, sand flying and stones rolling, make frightful and dreaded sounds. The native Mongolian people call it Sulumuhak, while the local Kazakh people name it Shytirkrsi, and both names have the same meaning - Ghost City.
