The precautions for going to Kezi Er Ghost City

When planning a trip to the Kizil Devil's City in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, here are some important considerations to keep in mind:

  1. Weather Conditions: The climate in Kizil Devil's City can be extreme, with hot summers and cold winters. Check the weather forecast before your visit and dress appropriately.

  2. Sun Protection: Due to the high altitude and clear skies, the sun can be very strong. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from UV rays.

  3. Hydration: The arid climate can lead to rapid dehydration. Always carry enough water and drink regularly to stay hydrated.

  4. Physical Fitness: Exploring the area may require some physical effort, especially if you plan to hike or climb. Ensure you are in good health and condition before embarking on such activities.

  5. Local Customs and Etiquette: Respect the local culture and customs of the Uyghur people. Be aware of any specific etiquette or dress codes that may apply.

  6. Travel Documentation: Ensure you have the necessary travel documents, including a valid passport and any required visas for China.

  7. Safety Precautions: Be aware of your surroundings and follow any safety guidelines provided by local authorities or your tour guide.

  8. Accommodation: Book your accommodation in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to ensure availability.

  9. Transportation: Plan your transportation to and from Kizil Devil's City, as it may be remote and not easily accessible by public transport.

  10. Language Barrier: While Mandarin is widely spoken, learning a few basic phrases in Uyghur or having a translation app can be helpful.

  11. Emergency Services: Familiarize yourself with the local emergency numbers and services available.

  12. Cultural Sensitivity: Be respectful of religious sites and practices, and avoid taking photographs in areas where it is prohibited.

  13. Preservation of the Site: Do not remove or damage any natural or cultural artifacts within the site.

  14. Travel Insurance: Consider purchasing travel insurance that covers medical expenses and trip cancellations.
