Li Bai's hometown - the ancient land of Suyab

A famous historical site in Kyrgyzstan: Suyab City - the birthplace of the greatest romantic poet and the poet immortal Li Bai worshipped by all (the birthplace is somewhat controversial, but experts currently identify it as here).

Suyab City was once a frontier town in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, and its ruins are now located in Ak-Beshim, 8 kilometers southwest of Togmak City in the Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan. In the words of the tour guide, it looks like a pile of soil from a distance, and a pile of soil up close. Although only a small part of the ruins remains, it is still thrilling here, and many great verses emerge one by one in my mind.

More worth seeing than Suyab City is Burana Tower, not far away, located 20 kilometers south of Togmak. It is said that Genghis Khan kept it because of its high height. The snow-capped mountains around the tower are endless, and on the boundless grassland under the snow-capped mountains, children are riding horses and herding cattle and sheep from time to time, and the shepherd dogs are accompanying them, forming a beautiful picture.

If you come to Suyab City for nostalgia, you can enjoy the scenery here, and the children of the herders are very enthusiastic. It is worth mentioning that the road along the way is a bit worse.
