An overworked and injured camel was seen being used for tourist rides at a scenic area in Xinjiang, China, leading authorities to suspend the attraction. Following a viral video posted on Monday showing the animal's condition at the “Devil City on the Sea” scenic area, a joint government inspection confirmed the camel suffered from exhaustion and leg abrasions. The local tourism bureau has ordered the operator to halt the project, treat the animal, and implement a mandatory rotation and health-check system to overhaul their management. The "Devil City on the Sea" scenic area features a five-kilometre-long Yardang landform of bucket-shaped hills formed by wind and rain erosion, named after its resemblance to an ancient water fortress. #hkeye#china#chinanews#camel #animal #xinjiang#tourism #tourist #touristattraction #touristplace #overwork#animallife #exhaustion #devilcity #yardang #landform #scenicarea#animalwelfare #animalabuseawareness
