The golden lion welcomes guests and the tower-shaped Yadan is the product of the Yadan landform in its prime development period. Due to wind, rain, and water erosion, the large Yadan body was eroded, gradually collapsed along the cracks, and gradually became smaller, forming a landscape like a lying lion. It seems to be watching and welcoming tourists from afar.
This Yadan landform in Dunhuang is already on the edge of Lop Nur, covering an area of ​​about 400 square kilometers. Its formation took about 700,000 to 300,000 years. When strong wind blows, it will make various strange sounds, so it is also called Dunhuang Yadan Devil City.
