The scenery along the route gradually changes from city buildings to gobi desert; this is the Junggar Basin.

The film "Seven Swords" and the TV drama "Zhaoge" were shot here. Travelers call it a "yardang geological wonder" and a "Devil's City with life". The mythical wonder of Sea Devil's City is a colorful world, a castle created by nature, a lake created by nature; they have depended on each other for tens of millions of years, telling in silent language of nature's majesty and grandeur, vastness and gentleness. In winter, Fuhai is like an ink-wash Chinese painting; though the colors are simple, it is still breathtakingly beautiful. Here you can also experience an ice-and-snow park, snowmobiles, skiing, ice fishing and more. 18:30-20:00 In the evening we will arrive at the European-style "fairy-tale town" of Burqin.
