Cai Wu Bay is located in the Gurbantunggut Desert, which is more than 0/00 km north of Jimsar County, Jurassic oil in Xinjiang desert. Its coordinates are 88 49' 26.9 "east longitude, 44 45' 48.3" north latitude and 474.57 meters above sea level.
As early as the Jurassic hundreds of millions of years ago, thick coal seams were deposited here. After wind erosion and rain stripping, the sand and gravel on the surface of coal seam are washed away. After exposure and lightning, the fire broke out. After the coal seam burned out, the sintered rocks piled up. In addition, the mineral content in different geological periods is different, and the rolling hills in this area are mainly ochre red, mixed with yellow, white, black and green colors.
After wind, rain and sun, it is also "Ya Dan landform". Seen from a distance, it looks like a city wall and an old castle, hence its name.
