Haicenchulu Scenic AreaHaicenchulu Scenic Area is located in the southwest of the Badain Jaran Desert, 220 kilometers from Alxa Right Banner. "Haicenchulu" is a transliteration from Mongolian, meaning "stones like pots." The bizarre rock formations here are wildly exaggerated—sometimes laughably so, sometimes eerily strange, and other times endearingly peculiar. There are also resiliently growing and thriving populus euphratica trees in the rock gullies, allowing you to feel the vitality of life. How did these tens of square kilometers of rugged, oddly-shaped stone landscapes form? No specialized research has been conducted yet, but one theory is widely accepted: thousands of years ago, this area was under the sea. The rocks were shaped over time by the long-term scouring of seawater into various forms. Later, due to continuous geological changes, the seabed rose to become land, and the original stones were gradually eroded by wind, forming these uniquely grotesque shapes.
