The Ancient Stone Town of Kashgar Review

The stone city, once a more powerful capital of the 36 countries in the Western region, was all built with huge stones, so it was named. The city is built on the mountain, surrounded by large grasslands, rich water and grass, flowers everywhere, cattle and sheep flocks, and the main road to West Asia and surrounding major cities, is an important part of the Silk Road. Legend is the only country in the 36 countries of the Western Region to hit India by their own efforts. The mountain is the famous scenic spot "Golden Caotan", which can be visited by one ticket.

You can play at 8:30, go around, basically catch up with the 10:15 performance, do not take the shuttle bus may not be too late, the shuttle bus 11 yuan, if the sun is big, sit, the ticket is 40, slightly more expensive.

[View] It seems that you have entered another parallel world. When the sun sets (remember, around 8 o'clock in Beijing time) in the gradually soft light, witness the relics of history together. Stone City is located in Ta County. When we went there because there was no performance, we only charged 25 yuan per person for the fare (in fact, it is very close), and everyone must buy it with ID card.

Stone City, located tens of meters north of Tashkurgan County, according to the examination, is the remains of the Tang Dynasty. The city has unearthed Tang Dynasty coins, Hotan documents, etc. The geographical environment of the stone city is superior: there is a grassland under the city, and there are several grasslands around. In ancient times, several mountain roads from Kashgar, Yingjisha, Yecheng, Shache to the Pamir Plateau are gathered here. Several major mountains to Central Asia are west: Hongqi Lavda, Mingtie Gaida, Wahkirida plate, etc., have since also have natural valley roads. The city is a strategic castle on the ancient "Silk Road", and has been designated as a key cultural relics protection unit in the autonomous region. Although the stone city only has the remnants of the broken wall, but there are snow peaks around, grass beaches, rivers, and a strong Tajik national customs, quite rough and bold beauty.

The surrounding scenery is magnificent, and the stone city itself is a witness to the Silk Road culture.

Although it is a pile of ruins, it still has historical significance.
