In Jiaohe Ancient City, attend a date with the sunset

❤Recommended reason: From an aerial view, Jiaohe Ancient City looks like a large willow leaf. The two rivers intersecting around the city are natural moats; due to the erosion of the river, the edge of the platform has formed cliffs up to tens of meters high, and the towering cliffs are city walls. The fortress built of raw soil, the 'fully armed' city, even allowed the Cheshi small country sandwiched between the Han and Xiongnu to enjoy a national dynasty for more than 500 years, creating a beacon legend on the Silk Road. At dusk, the golden sunlight coats Jiaohe Ancient City with a layer of gold film, adding to the historical heaviness of the ancient city. 🗓Itinerary: It is recommended to go to the scenic area at six or seven in the afternoon, when it is relatively not so hot and the light is better. The tour lasts about 3 hours. 💰Tickets: The ticket is 70, and the shuttle bus is 25. 📝Note tips: Aerial photography is not allowed in the scenic area, but it is possible outside the scenic area. For the location address, use the mobile map👉🏻There is a country road on the north side of the ancient city. You can park on the side of the road to overlook Jiaohe Ancient City (p1/2, p5/6 perspective), or you can fly. The surrounding area is all vineyards, and there are houses for drying raisins.

The Ancient City of Jiaohe

This is all that’s left of the world’s largest, oldest and best preserved city made of earthen buildings.⠀ ⠀ The natural fortress was once the capital of the Jushi Kingdom, and sits atop a high plateau, between two deep and steep river valleys.⠀ ⠀ Made from Turpan’s desert stiltstone, you can walk along a path that mimics the old main street and duck into the shells of old temples and houses.⠀ ⠀ 📍Jiaohe Ruins, Turpan, Xinjiang, China #leaveyourmark
