Photo by davidemonteleonestudio | This is Flaming Mountain, on the outskirts of Turpan. Sometimes called the fruit basket of China, Turpan is at the center of a fertile oasis—though it may not look like it in this image. In ancient times, the Xinjiang Province city was a major station along the Silk Road. Follow davidemonteleonestudio for more. #china #silkroad #bri
