It’s unimaginable, so when going to Colorful City, you have to travel with at least two off-road vehicles. The current situation is changing. There is a second-level desert road that leads directly to the Cainan Oilfield, which is only a dozen kilometers away. It can be reached in only a few hours from Jimusar or Fukang City, and you can make a round trip on the same day. . However, it is best to stay here for one night when visiting the Colorful City, because during the three periods of the day, the Colorful City displays different postures in the morning, noon and evening, leaving you with different feelings and interests.

In the morning, preferably after a night of drizzle, the sky has just cleared up and the wind has stopped raining. A red sun bursts out from the ground, shooting out a peacock tail-shaped golden glow, and a sapphire-like sky floats. With colorful feather-like clouds, the colorful city is like a holy girl taking a bath, elegant and colorful. When you climb high and look far away, the valley is filled with mist, and the colorful hills illuminated by the sun become more exquisite and translucent, like open colorful umbrellas. Several high hills are wrapped with more than a dozen different kinds of colorful ribbons, like shy and gorgeous quiet beauties standing in the morning light. At this time, you will suddenly feel the lack of language. You really can't find a suitable word to express your feeling at this moment. You just feel relaxed and happy all over your body.

The Colorful City at noon is as hot as fire, as if the entire world’s sunshine has gathered here. The colors of the hills have become diluted under the intimidation of the sun, and even the air has become hot and scorching, and everything is extinguished. The fire that has lasted for tens of thousands of years seems to be rekindled. You will suddenly feel your blood boiling, a primitive impulse rushing up your veins, and you will become passionate. All the unhappiness from life will be washed away by this enthusiasm, and you will feel that life is so warm and full of interest. Every evening, the entire colorful city is ignited by the setting sun, and the faded colors suddenly become intense, and the colorful city becomes colorful, with red as fire, yellow as gold, green as cute, and blue as attractive. The sky painted by the sunset is like a warm colorful mask, blending with the colorful city. When you are in it, it is like being in a beautiful dream.

The colorful city at night is peaceful and quiet, the starry sky stretching thousands of miles away, the bright moon as clear as silver, and the hazy hills under the moonlight will trigger your infinite reverie. At this moment, the colorful city is immersed in the watery moonlight, and the looming mountain tops are like gray clouds, adding to its dreamy color.

You seem to be in an isolated fantasy, everything in the world becomes so far away, and you seem to have a relaxed feeling after Nirvana.

Colorful City is indeed a beautiful place. Its beauty lies in its originality, its tragedy, its magic, and the infinite enlightenment it gives people. I believe that everyone who approaches it will be enchanted by its infinite charm.
