Entrance to Hell discover in China ( pics)

 A giant hole with blazing flames that opened up on a mountainside in China has been branded the ‘Gateway to Hell’ by superstitious locals.


Fumes spewing from the glowing pit are so hot that tree branches burst into flames when they are held over it.Temperatures inside the opening are a whopping 792C, leading some locals to claim it is a portal to reach the Devil himself.

Construction workers discovered the mysterious lava-filled cave after spotting a small hole in on the
surface of the hillside pouring out fumes last week.

Geologists are now flocking to study the unique sink hole on the outskirts of Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in north-western China.

The area was sealed off after the discovery of the phenomenon and scientists are now working to establish its origins.
