敦煌雅丹國家地質公園（俗稱"雅丹魔鬼城"）位於甘肅省敦煌市西北約一百八十公里處的戈壁深處，是古羅布泊的一部分，為世界規模最大、地質形態發育最成熟的雅丹地貌群落之一，被評定為國家AAAA級旅遊景區，並入選聯合國教科文組織世界地質公園網絡名錄。公園面積約三百九十八平方公里，其雅丹地貌形成於約七十萬年前的中更新世河湖相沉積地層，經長期風蝕作用塑造出壟崗狀、牆狀、塔柱狀等千姿百態的造型，如"金獅迎賓""孔雀玉立""西海艦隊"等景觀惟妙惟肖，被譽為"天然地貌博物館"。因地處極端乾旱區，晝夜溫差懸殊且風力強勁，夜幕降臨時風嘯如鬼嚎，故得名"魔鬼城"。公園兼具地質科研、生態保護與文化旅遊價值，不僅是《英雄》《天脈傳奇》等影視作品的取景地，更是探索絲綢之路自然奇觀與荒漠生態的獨特窗口。

The Dunhuang Yadan National Geological Park (commonly known as the "Yadan Devil's City") is located deep in the Gobi Desert, approximately one hundred eighty kilometers northwest of Dunhuang City in Gansu Province. It forms part of the ancient Lop Nur and is one of the world's largest and most maturely developed Yardang landform clusters. It has been designated as a National AAAA-level tourist attraction and was included in the UNESCO Global Geoparks network. The park covers an area of approximately three hundred ninety-eight square kilometers. Its Yardang landforms originated from fluvial-lacustrine sedimentary strata dating back to the Middle Pleistocene epoch, around seven hundred thousand years ago. Long-term wind erosion has sculpted these strata into diverse shapes including ridge-like, wall-like, and tower-pillar structures, creating lifelike scenes such as "Golden Lion Welcoming Guests," "Peacock Standing Gracefully," and "West Sea Fleet," earning it the title of a "natural landform museum". Due to the extreme arid climate with significant diurnal temperature variations and powerful winds, the area emits eerie, howling sounds at night, hence the name "Devil's City." The park holds value for geological research, ecological conservation, and cultural tourism. It has served as a filming location for movies like Hero and The Touch and stands as a unique destination for exploring the natural wonders of the Silk Road and desert ecosystems.
