Flaming Mountain is a place of great interest to tourists as not only is it located along the ancient Silk Route, it is also the hottest place in China.
The thing about China tourism is, all places of interest are protected and well managed. Beautiful buildings or complexes are often built as entry points before tourist can view the real thing. This photo shows the complex we have to buy tickets and go through before we get to see Flaming Mountain from near.

A giant-sized thermometer is set up to gauge the temperature at the foothill of Flaming Mountain. This is one of the largest thermometer in China. The temperature at the Flaming Mountain has hit a high of 80°C (175°F)before making this one of the hottest place on earth as well. It is said eggs could be cooked under the sand and fried on a rock.
When we arrived at 9am it was 26°C. When we left at 10am, the temperature has exceeded 30°C. I wonder what it would be at 3pm?
