What's the story of Wuerhe ghost town in Xinjiang?

Legend has it that it used to be a magnificent castle. The men in the castle are handsome and strong, the women in the castle are beautiful and kind, and the people in the castle work hard and live a carefree life.

However, with the accumulation of wealth, evil gradually occupied people's hearts. They began to indulge in pleasure and debauchery. In order to compete for wealth, the city is full of intrigue and bloody fighting, and everyone's face has become ferocious and terrible.

In order to arouse people's conscience, God came to the castle disguised as a beggar in rags. The gods told people that evil turned him from a rich man into a beggar. However, the beggar's words didn't work, but were insulted and laughed at by the people in the castle.

The gods turned this place into ruins in a rage, and all the people in the castle were crushed under the ruins. Every night, the dead will cry in the castle, hoping that the gods can hear their confession.

According to the investigation of scientists, during the Cretaceous period about 1 100 million years ago, it was a huge freshwater lake with lush plants growing on the shore, and ancient animals such as stegosaurus, plesiosaur, dinosaurs and pterosaurs in Junggar lived and multiplied in the water. It is a paradise where aquatic animals gather.

Later, after two major crustal changes, the lake became a vast land ocean sandwiched between sandstone and slate, which was called "Gobi platform" in geology.
