FLAMING MOUNTAINS

First, you will find yourself in a long corridor (to move to the heart of the mountain with engravings representing the adventures of Sun Wukong, the hero king of the monkeys of the classic trip to the west (and who will be strangely adapted in a manga form under the title Dragon Ball…). You will then arrive in a large gallery presenting the statues of all Western robbers, such as the British Aurel Stein (1862-1943) or the German Albert von Le Coq, who redécouvrirent the site and empruntèrent many pieces, now exposed in Europe. Finally, on the floor you will finally see these famous mountains. They are in sandstone and reflect a huge heat. In the novel above, traveling to the west, our heroes managed to pass them only through the use of a magic rain… For us, not rain, but bottles of water… Try to go around 11 h when ochre colors become the most visible.
