One year ago, President Xi Jinping visited Turpan, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and talked with some children on vacation. "Did you see Sun Wukong (the Monkey King)?" Xi asked after being told that they had visited the Flaming Mountain in Turpan.
The Flaming Mountain gained its reputation in the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West that was published some 400 years ago.
