Red Hill, according to myth, is part of a dragon stained with blood. One pagoda was built in 1788 at the tip here and another at the next hill few kilometers away, to secure the town and save it from flooding.
It was quite a leisure walk up the 910.6m Red Hill, the weather was clear and the photo on the left was taken from a tower at the summit, actually behind the town is the desert. Turning right from that position (not in photo), snow-capped mountains from Tian Shan ranges can be seen.
