My Altay + Ili 8-day tour
At the foot of the Altay Mountains, seeing those small wooden houses of the Tuva people and the cattle and sheep running around the large pastures, it felt like entering a fairy tale world. And the clear streams, flowing through the canyons, all the way to the depths of the forest... Oh, really, if you don't go to Northern Xinjiang, you don't know what poetry and distance mean.

The mysterious ancient city of Loulan
Camel bells echo slowly with the sound of the Hu horn, an artistic treasure passed down for a thousand years, the Western Region imprint of Chinese civilization
The mysterious ancient city of Loulan
Loulan, an ancient and beautiful name that inevitably brings to mind that popular verse: 'A solitary smoke in the vast desert straight, the long river setting sun round.' This city, once prosperous, has now turned into a desolate desert. However, its story still shines brightly in the long river of history.

Return to Loulan | Encounter the mysterious ancient country! Uncover the mysterious hidden affairs!
What do you associate with Loulan🏜️❓
Is it a distant and mysterious Western Region ancient country🏯❓
Or the stunning Loulan beauty👸❓
Loulan, this ancient country that has disappeared for thousands of years🏜️, has left us too many unsolved mysteries. But the traces of its existence - those broken walls, those Lop Nur documents📖, that little river princess who has been buried for nearly four thousand years👑...... time and time again stimulate our nerves, declaring to us its once glory and brilliance🌟.
The 'Han Book·Western Regions'📖 records that Loulan was once bustling with traffic, and the prosperous business on the Silk Road made Loulan a wealthy and prosperous city-state💰. However, such prosperity only existed for more than eight hundred years, and Loulan disappeared like a mirage🙄.
👉💗Ancient country for a thousand years·Reappear true face💗
On March 27, 1900, Swedish explorer Sven Hedin, during his investigation in the Lop Desert, a sudden sandstorm🏜️, led him to discover this ancient city that had been buried in the sand for a thousand years. After hastily leaving a mark, on March 3, 1901, Sven Hedin arrived again with the expedition team🚶, and began to excavate⛏️. Here, Sven Hedin and his team excavated a large number of cultural relics, and according to the wooden slips and paper documents unearthed later📖, it was confirmed that this city belonged to, and this ancient city that had been sleeping for a thousand years was thus awakened🏯.
👉💗Sand cover·Disappear mystery💗
As for the reason for the disappearance of Loulan, there are several reasonable theories in academia:
⭐Lop Nur drought theory
In the 5th century AD, Loulan was in a cold period🧊, in ancient times, the water source in the Western Regions mainly depended on glacial meltwater💦, at this time the water source decreased, at the same time, the Loulan people cut down the Populus euphratica forest🌲 in their daily life, accelerating the loss of water💦. Under the superposition of various factors, the Lop Nur area became increasingly arid🔥, humans could not survive, and the ancient country of Loulan gradually disappeared in the sand🏜️.
⭐⭐Loulan is no longer a necessary passage on the Silk Road
In the early Western Han Dynasty, the slave people controlled the Western Regions, and the Han Dynasty's caravans🐫, envoys🚶 had to go to the Western Regions from Yumen Pass through Sanlong Sand, Bailongdui, to reach Loulan. This road is all desert🏜️, Gobi, harsh conditions. Traveling in the uninhabited desert, without water source💦, and dry weather🔥, for ordinary people, it is really hard. Therefore, by the end of the Western Han Dynasty, people opened a new route, the Silk Road changed to Gaochang, when Loulan was not needed, it was also the beginning of Loulan's decline.
In Loulan🏜️, every grain of sand seems to carry an ancient story, every gust of wind is like a whisper through a thousand years👂. Here, you can feel the perfect combination of nature and history🔥, let the thousand-year-old legend here intertwine with your emotions, let the endless charm here collide with your soul

Don't believe in the 3k5 entry into the Loulan Ancient City anymore
‼️It's not accessible, because the Loulan Ancient City site is not open to the public, so it is not allowed for people to visit casually. The Loulan Ancient Country site is not open to the public, partly because it is very close to the 🈲 area, and it is located in the desert uninhabited area, regardless of the natural environment or geographical location, it is not a good place for tourism, it is not open to the public, also for the safety of tourists.
🔆In order to protect the site from being damaged by humans. There have been thieves who have stolen here, the behavior of the thieves, seriously damaged a lot of things of great historical value, so in order to protect the Loulan site, it is temporarily not open to the public.
The so-called trip to Loulan, are all going to the Loulan Ancient City Museum.

The most expensive scenic spot in the country, the ancient city of Loulan, shows you its true face!
Unbroken Loulan will never return
Mysterious Loulan (Permanently closed)
If you ask where is the most mysterious place in China
Loulan must have a name
It is known as the 'Pompeii in the desert', one of the most desolate areas in Xinjiang
But it has a long history and countless mysterious legends that make people yearn for it
The ancient city of Loulan is known as the most expensive scenic spot in China and also the most difficult to enter
Because strictly speaking, it is not a tourist spot open to tourists
Even if you want to go, you need to go through layers of approval from the cultural relics department in advance
If the route crosses the military control area, it also needs to be approved by the military department
!! Less than 50,000 people in the world have seen its true face
The ticket for Chinese people is 3500 yuan
!! The deposit for foreigners is as high as more than 300,000
Because of the climate of Lop Nur, the ancient city has been eroded by the wind and only a part of the wall remains.
The difficulty of archaeology and protection is extremely high
Therefore, permanent closure can be understood, and it is also for its protection and extension
