The hottest town in the world, with the highest temperature exceeding 50 degrees, the locals have moved underground

Coober Pedy, Australia is a prosperous town, known as the "opal capital of Australia and the world" because of its rich opal, but when you come here, you will find only a few buildings in the desolate desert, other places Almost no people are visible; however, the bustling town is, in fact, an underground city where thousands of residents live.

Due to the harsh weather conditions, miners began digging into the hillsides to find habitat. They were just trying to find respite from the scorching sun, but ended up building a small town. The daytime temperature here sometimes exceeds 50°C, and air conditioning is not a luxury but a necessity.

This underground city has a complete church, museums, art galleries, bars, and even a hotel for tourists who come to the underground city to experience life. This multicultural town is famous for supplying precious opals, which are their main source of income.

Although the small town of Coober Pedy has been around for a long time, it only became famous after the 1980s. In 1981, a small town resident named Crowe recognized the profit potential of this sleepy underground town and built his first hotel here.

Since then, the town has become famous and attracted many Australians to travel here. Today, foreign tourists flock to choose to stay in desert cave hotels, local hotels or private residences, and what attracts them most are the cool, dark, spacious rooms below ground.

After being accidentally discovered by gold seekers in 1915 to contain a large amount of opal mine, it has become an adventurer's paradise. After the First World War, a large number of veterans flocked to the town to mine opal, and legends of overnight riches continued to spread, and the town became widely known.

The residents of Coober Pedy come from 45 countries in addition to the Aboriginal Australians. However, what is interesting is how many people live in the Coober Pedy underground city, but it has always been a mystery.

When visiting Coober Pedy, in addition to visiting the underground city, you can also drive to the nearby "Bugavis" and "Plain of the Moon". Bugavis was once a place hidden under the sea. Since it was not damaged, the traces left by the sea receding from there 70 million years ago can still be clearly seen. In addition, the unique terrain has provided desert scenes and even alien scenes for many movies.
