In Karamay's World Devil City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, a stunning yardang landscape has been the stage for an off-road race since May. The nearly 160-km course winds through deserts, canyons and rock formations, blending professional motorsport with natural wonder. Visitors can watch the intense racing or drive off-road vehicles themselves with a coach. The event also features gear exhibitions, live shows, coffee markets and night activities, turning the competition into a "sports + culture tourism carnival" that has attracted crowds and reenergized local holiday travel.
