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
