    A tourist surnamed Luo said "I've experienced the highest temperature in my life. It is such a marvelous experience." Employees at the tourist spot sent popsicles and oral liquid medicines to offer relief from the heat. The spot also offered outdoor coolers for travelers.

    The tourist spot has welcomed around 6,000 people on daily basis over recent days.

    Turpan city also provides water and other items to help sanitation workers keep cool and allows them to pause work in extreme hot weather.
