Lights, camera, adventure! The Xinjiang city of Karamay is channeling Hollywood energy this year as its stunning desert landscapes star in the new martial arts blockbuster Blades of the Guardians. Visitors can now explore the same epic Yadan landforms seen on screen – think Mars-like rock formations at World Ghost Town 🌌 – with discounted travel packages rolling out this March.
Local authorities report a 40% spike in tourism inquiries since the film's release, with fans snapping selfies where fight scenes unfolded. "It's like stepping into the movie," gushed one recent visitor from Shanghai via Douyin.
Pro tip for travelers: The new digital voucher program gives 20% off desert camping experiences and Uygur cultural tours. With direct flights from Beijing and Shanghai increasing this season, Karamay's cinematic makeover could reshape China's tourism map 🗺️✨.
