2,300 Ancient City Ruins in Turpan 🇨🇳

#traveldiaries

This ancient city ruins dates back to 2,300 years. It is so fascinating to see such ruins knowing that this used to be a place where people thrived and lived. There are two ancient city ruins in Turpan but Jiaohe City Ruins is actually the best preserved ancient city ruins in the world. This city is one of the key passageways of the silk road.

One more interesting fact of this ancient city is that it lies on a 30 meter high plateau and apparently used to be a capital city of ancient Jushe State.

Before you are driven to the ruins, the shuttle bus will stop you at a museum which shows you how the ancient city ruins used to look like. You will have a glimpse of their household even their backyards and livelihood. Just very interesting to see.

Tips:
1. apply sun cream because there’s no shade here and you will be completely burned if you don’t cover up.
2. Bring water as it is really dry here and super hot.


Ticket price: around 150 if i recall correctly. This is including the museum and the shuttle bus and the entry to the ancient city ruins.

Length of visit: 2 hours
