How hot is Turpan in Xinjiang?
For example, friends who live in Chongqing all the year round will crash when they go to Turpan, Xinjiang, especially in summer.
Turpan is the second lowest basin in the world, second only to the Dead Sea. Turpan is surrounded by mountains, and outside the mountains is the desert Gobi. So Turpan is like a cauldron on the stove. Heat is constantly coming from the desert and shrouded in the basin. Being in Turpan, how hot it is, is like blowing a 35-degree air conditioner in midsummer, and the breeze blowing, just like adding hundreds of hair dryers.
Give another example:
Only two places in the world have unearthed a large number of mummies, one is Egypt and the other is Turpan. Egyptian mummies are kept in the pyramids, and the environment is basically constant temperature and humidity, plus many anti-corrosion measures have been adopted. The mummy in Turpan is different. One is that no preservatives are used at all, and the other is that there is no specific preservation environment.
