BEIJING - Tourists flocked to China’s scenic Flaming Mountains this week to experience searing high temperatures amid punishing heatwaves that have scorched much of the Northern Hemisphere.

On Sunday, a remote township in the Turpan Depression registered a maximum temperature of 52.2 deg C, smashing China’s national record of 50.3 deg C that was also set in the basin in 2015.
