Bayanzag, in the South Gobi in Mongolia, is more commonly known as the ‘Flaming Cliffs’, a name given to them by Roy Chapman Andrews who was an American explorer, adventurer and naturalist. He believed, together with Henry Fairfield Osborn, that humanity's origins were in Asia and led several expeditions through China into the Gobi Desert and Mongolia from 1922 to 1928 to search for pre-historic human remains. The expeditions did not find any, however Andrews and his team made many other finds, including fossil mammals and over a hundred dinosaurs. His most notable find was on 13 July 1923 when his team was the first in the world to discover a nest full of dinosaur eggs amongst the ‘Flaming Cliffs’. At sunset the cliffs glow with a brilliant red hue, hence their name.

新疆火焰山位于吐鲁番盆地的北缘，古丝绸之路北道。古书称之为“赤石山”，维吾尔语称“克孜勒塔格”（意为红山)，山体由红色砂岩构成，夏季气候干热。是天山东部博格达山坡前山带短小的褶皱低丘。火焰山以红色的花岗岩反射阳光而形成奇幻的色彩，是天山东部博格达山坡前山带短小的褶皱低丘。整座山体青红如火焰，方圆几百里，寸草不生。
火焰山东西长约100公里，南北宽约9公里，东起鄯善县兰干流沙河，西止吐鲁番桃儿沟。平均高度500米左右。
火焰山因明代吴承恩著名神话小说《西游记》而名闻天下。第五十九回至六十一回写道“唐三藏路阻火焰山，孙行者三调芭蕉扇”的故事，使火焰山披上一层神秘的色彩。据西游记原文写，火焰山之所以年年喷火，是因为500年前孙悟空踢翻八卦炉，八卦炉的火焰掉到地上，才形成火焰山。
The Flaming Mountains are barren, eroded, red sandstone hills in Tian Shan Mountain range, Xinjiang, China. They lie near the northern rim of the Taklamakan Desert and east of the city of Turpan. Their striking gullies and trenches caused by erosion of the red sandstone bedrock giving the mountains a flaming appearance at certain times of the day.
The mountains are approximately 100 kilometres (60 mi) long and 5–10 km (3–6 mi) wide, crossing the Turpan Depression from east to west. The average height of the Flaming Mountains is 500 m (1,600 ft), with some peaks reaching over 800 m (2,600 ft). The mountain climate is harsh, and the extremely high summer temperatures make this the hottest spot in China, frequently reaching 50 °C (122 °F) or higher.
The Flaming Mountains received their name from a fantasy account of a Buddhist monk, accompanied by a Monkey King with magical powers, who runs into a wall of flames on his pilgrimage to India in the popular 16th century novel, Journey to the West, by Ming Dynasty writer, Wu Cheng'en.[3] The novel is an embellished description of the monk Xuanzang who traveled to India in 627 CE to obtain Buddhist scriptures and went through a pass in the Tien Shan after leaving Gaochang.
According to the classical novel Journey to the West, the Monkey King created a disturbance in the heavens and knocked over a kiln, causing embers to fall from the sky to the place where the Flaming Mountains are now. In an Uigur legend, a dragon lived in the Tianshan Mountains. Because the dragon ate little children, an Uigur hero slew the dragon and cut it into eight pieces. The dragon's blood turned into a scarlet mountain of blood and the eight pieces became the eight valleys in the Flaming Mountains.
That would make an awesome name for a bar...
