The most immersive portrait photography location - Jiaohe Ancient City

🚩Jiaohe Ancient City is hailed as 'the most perfect ruin in the world.' This city, which was the Tang Dynasty's Western Regions Protectorate two thousand years ago, is now compressed in time within these earthen buildings. 🌹Walking through the narrow and deep alleys, you can see temples, government offices, city gates, and residential houses from the past, resembling winding trenches. 👉The scenes of watching beacon fires from the mountains and watering horses by the Jiaohe River have vanished; however, the glory of the years is perfectly displayed. As long as you stand among them, you will immediately feel a sense of time travel. 📍Address: 6 kilometers west of Yal Township, Gaochang District, Turpan City 👌Tickets: Jiaohe Ancient City ticket + shuttle bus ticket 90 yuan/person

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
