ℹ️ About

Wucaitan, or the Five-Colour Riverbank, is in Yegeztobe Township about 24 kilometres northwest of Burqin county town and covers about 3 square kilometres. On the north bank of the Irtysh River, red, yellow and green sandstone and mudstone form cliff-like yardang landforms that glow at sunset, earning it the title of "Xinjiang's most beautiful yardang". It became a national 4A attraction in 2008.
