Located on an island platform in Yar Township, about 13 kilometers west of Turpan City, the river flows around the city, so it is called Jiaohe. The existing building ruins are about 1650 meters long, narrow at both ends, and about 300 meters wide at the middle, showing a willow-shaped peninsula. Jiaohe Old City, built in the 2nd to 5th centuries B.C., is the former capital of Cheshi, one of the 36 ancient cities in the Western Regions. It is the political, economic, military and cultural center of the country. It is the largest, oldest and most well-preserved native building city in the world. It is also the most complete urban relic preserved in China for more than two thousand years. Anxi Capital, the highest military and political organization in the Western Regions of Tang Dynasty, was first established here. 。 In 1961, it was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit. On June 22, 2014, at the 38th UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting in Doha, Qatar, Jiaohe Old Town was successfully included in the World Heritage List as a site of the Silk Road: Road Network of Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor, which was jointly applied for by China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

    You need to walk a lot of roads and buy more water. Although you have a lifetime ticket, you feel that you will never go again. It is best to understand the cultural history of the ancient city or find someone to explain it. Otherwise, the girl staff at the ticket gate of the ticket is a bit tasteless. We have not bought a range ticket. Blinking and then smirking and saying that we can also go up, it makes people feel yin and yang strange, and the mood is very bad. It is recommended to buy a range ticket. The road is indeed a bit more hot. It will be easier to heatstroke.

    Stop and walk slowly in the grape ditch, and it is almost evening before taking a taxi to Jiaohe Ancient City. The difference between the old city and the ancient city is that the former is no longer inhabited. The bare ruins of the broken wall and the loess under the sunset make this whole city more empty and desolate. This is a well worth visiting in Turpan, although the fare is 95 not cheap. (The ancient city of Jiaohe was founded and built by the Cheshiremen from the 2nd to 5th centuries BC. It reached its peak in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and Tang Dynasties. In the 9th to 14th centuries, due to the strategic location, Jiaohe City gradually declined. During the Chahetai period in the late Yuan Dynasty, the war in Turpan was fought for years. Jiaohe City was badly damaged and finally abandoned. Jiaohe Ancient City is the largest and oldest and best preserved city in the world, and it is also the most complete urban relics preserved in China for more than 2,000 years. The highest military and political institution in Tangxi Province, Anxidu Hufu, was first located in Jiaohe Ancient City. : In Turpan, I deeply realized that it is not easy to take a taxi back to the city from the scenic spot. Although these scenic spots are only about 8 kilometers away from the city, if you don't contact the taxi driver in advance to add money to pick you up, no one will come over. Unlike Urumqi Korla, these cities can also use online car-hailing platforms such as Didi Gaode, which are monopolized by taxis in Turpan. There is only one cat on the platform that occasionally takes orders, and they are all taxis. So this time it was dark for a long time before finally and another couple of mother and son hit the car back to the city.

    Jiaohe Ancient City is worth a trip. Be sure to pay attention to sun protection. There are very foreigners who come inexplicably. Be sure to go more. Many places will make you shocked! The silent shock of the vicissitudes of history will make you no, it is a worthwhile trip!

    Jiaohe Ancient City, known as "China's most beautiful ruins", the most suitable time period for viewing should be evening. As the sun sets, the sunset and the sunset mottled through, it seems that the past two thousand years have been solidified in the remains of these fragmented native buildings, with a kind of beauty that was thrilling before the end.
