Whispers of the Silk Road: My Journey Through Jiaohe

#mytraveldiary

Wandering through the Jiaohe Ruins felt like stepping into a forgotten world carved from the desert itself. Perched between two rivers near Turpan, this ancient city, once bustling with life, is now a hauntingly beautiful skeleton of raw-earth architecture. The silence was profound, broken only by the wind brushing against centuries-old walls. I marveled at Buddhist stupas, sunken courtyards, and the clever use of natural cliffs as defense. It’s surreal how well-preserved everything is despite its age. Jiaohe isn’t just a site, it’s a story etched in loess, waiting for curious souls to listen. A must-see for history lovers.
