Turpan Day Trip✈️|Visiting City Ruins and Gourmet Food

📍Trip Overview This time, I took a day trip to Turpan, which can be reached from Urumqi in about an hour by high-speed train! It is famous for its high temperatures that reach nearly 50°C and for being a grape-producing region, but Turpan in winter also has a lot to see, so it was fun👍 🚩Route Turpan North Station 📷2 ↓ Jiaohe Ancient Village 📷3 ↓ Jiaohe Ancient City 📷1, 4, 5 ↓ Kan'erjing Folk Garden 📷6-7 ↓ Lunch 📷8 ↓ Turpan Museum 📷9 ↓ Resting at a cafe 📷10 ↓ Dinner 📷11 💞Recommended Points Jiaohe Ancient City: Even in the vastness of China, this is the only urban ruin remaining from the Han Dynasty! It is also registered as a World Heritage Site. One of the fun things to do is to look at the ruins made of earth and think, "What kind of life did people in the past live here?"⭐️ Kan'erjing Folklore Park: Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but I enjoyed it more than I expected. It is one of the three major civil engineering projects in ancient China, along with the Great Wall and the Grand Canal. You can feel the effort and wisdom of the people who risked their lives to build the underground waterway👍 🚇Transportation There is a small bus for pick-up and drop-off between Jiaohe Ancient Village and Jiaohe Ancient City. If you buy a ticket that includes the admission fee, you don't have to buy an admission ticket after arriving at the tourist spot, so it's convenient! When going to other places, I took a taxi. 💡Notes Many shops were closed because it was not the peak season!
