Aerial shots taken on July 3 have captured mesmerizing views of Aiken Spring in Mangya City, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. The spring vent, encircled by reddish-brown mineral sediment belts, closely resembles a giant human pupil, boasting rich, vivid hues that deliver a striking visual impact. Classified as a geothermal hot spring, Aiken Spring maintains a constant water temperature of between 26 and 30 degrees Celsius year-round. It has earned the moniker "Devil's Eye" for its three key traits: extremely high sulfur content, the barren, vegetation-free terrain surrounding it, and its uncanny eye-pupil shape when viewed from above.
