In recent days, the northern part of mainland China has entered an 'oven mode,' experiencing continuous high temperatures. Turpan, Xinjiang, recorded a surface temperature of 75 degrees Celsius, while in Henan a woman woke up to find the shrimp on her balcony had turned red due to the extreme heat, with some areas reaching over 40-42 degrees Celsius. The heatwave has led to various incidents including shrimp deaths from overheated water, ants dying on hot pavement, and demonstrations of cooking with a 'solar stove' in Jinan, Shandong. Despite scorching temperatures, tourists in Turpan's Flaming Mountain area continued to visit attractions and even tried cooking eggs on sand piles.
