A highly recommended nighttime attraction in Turpan.

Before coming to Turpan, I had no idea this place existed. I only knew about the Flaming Mountains and the Grape Valley. But after arriving in Turpan, I saw Jiaohe Night being recommended everywhere while looking up travel guides. Seeing all the rave reviews online, I decided to check it out. To see the Jiaohe Night performance, you can only enter the scenic area after 8:30 pm. Seats are first come, first served. Since the performance doesn't start until 10 pm, you can explore the Jiaohe Ancient City before then. Coming at this time, the advantages of visiting at night are obvious. Although the lighting is a bit dim, the ruins of Jiaohe Ancient City have a unique charm under the setting sun. The temperature is also more comfortable at this time. As the hottest place in China, it's not very realistic to stay outdoors in Turpan for a long time during the day without any shade. The Jiaohe Night performance mainly features music played with Xinjiang instruments. Although I'm not very familiar with music, I could still feel the past prosperity and current desolation of this place during the performance. It's a great experience. 🏠 Jiaohe Ancient City 📍 Gaochang District, Turpan

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
