China: Family On Road Trip Encounters Giant Eerie Wind Turbine In Dense Fog In Tianshui

A family had an eerie experience driving through dense fog and witnessing a wind turbine during a road trip in Tianshui, Gansu, northwestern China on July 6, 2024. The scene is reminiscent of the horror movie "Silent Hill." According to the filmer, the trip was supposed to be a relaxing vacation to the grasslands for his cousin who had just finished his college entrance exams, and they did not expect that a strong wind and a thick fog to break out after they reached the top of the mountain. The filmer likened the turbine to a "guillotine," humorously claiming that the turbine visually felt like it was just a short distance overhead, almost like a scene straight out of a thriller.
