Yotgan Ancient City|Take you through thousands of years to experience the prosperity of ancient Khotan

The ancient city of Yotgan was built with reference to the ancient Khotan city style recorded in historical documents. It is a characteristic cultural tourism town integrating vacation, tourism, culture, commerce, leisure and other functions. The well-proportioned white houses, mainly traditional Ayiwang houses, ornately decorated roofs, blue doors and windows, and carved pillars, are full of mysterious and exotic style. The most anticipated thing is the two-hour live performance with the entire scenic spot as the stage. The history of the ancient Khotan Kingdom is combined with the local culture of Hotan, and modern scientific and technological means and innovative interpretation methods are used to reproduce the glorious scene of the ancient Khotan Kingdom thousands of years ago. ✅Tickets: 🍂Off season (March-June, November): full price 138 yuan, half price 70 yuan 🌱Peak season (July-October): Full price 268 yuan, half price 130 yuan ✂️Half-price range: Xinjiang aid cadres, teachers, medical staff, students, disabled people, family members of martyrs, etc. can purchase tickets at half price on-site with their IDs. 🎖️Free admission with veteran’s ID card (still charged at half price during the May Day holiday) ✅Transportation: 🚙It is 10 kilometers from Hotan City to Bagqi Town, and it takes about 15 minutes to drive 🚕For foreign tourists, it costs about 40 to take a taxi from the city, and it’s also available back home. (Parking in the ancient city is not very convenient) ✅Play recommendations: 1⃣️Traditional costume art photos: You can change into the traditional costumes of the ancient Khotanese culture in the dressing room, which can better integrate into the ancient city and look good when taking photos. 2⃣️Shopping in the Folklore Street: A dazzling array of special products such as hemp candies, spices, medicinal teas, etc. will make you feel like you have traveled to the ancient Khotan market. 3⃣️Food Street: Taste Hotan’s saltwater barbecue, watermelon barbecue, roasted whole lamb, pigeon soup and other specialties. 4⃣️The old city at night is reserved for "Music from all directions in Khotan", a global immersive super-sensory performance, and personally experience the wonderful scene of "people come from paintings". It starts at 10:30 p.m. and lasts about two hours. You can interact with the actors throughout the show. Because it is a newly opened scenic spot, the management of the ancient city is not very perfect and there are some minor flaws. However, this cultural and historical city integrates the legendary historical sculptures of the ancient Khotan Kingdom into modern street design elements. While visiting the ancient city of Yotgan, , you can feel the Tang style and Chinese charm that has been passed down for thousands of years in the ancient Khotan Kingdom.
