Loulan Ancient City - China Travel

introduce

The world-famous Loulan Ancient City, an important historic site in Xinjiang, is located in the west of Lop Nur, the hub of the Western Regions, and occupies an important position on the ancient Silk Road. According to the records of "Historical Records Biography of Dawan" and "Hanshu Biography of the Western Regions", as early as the 2nd century, Loulan was a famous "city outline country" in the Western Regions.

In 1900, Sven Hedin led a Swedish expedition team to explore Lop Nur, but accidentally discovered the ancient city of Loulan. The existing Loulan site is roughly square in shape, each side of the city wall is roughly 330 meters long, and the urban area is roughly 1.1 square kilometers. There are still dilapidated courtyards and towering pagodas in the city. Many ancient cultural relics have been found in the ancient city of Loulan, including various utensils and coins. The most precious one is the Jin Dynasty manuscript "Warring States Policy".

The Loulan Kingdom has a history of more than 800 years from its founding before 176 BC to its demise in 630 AD. Loulan has always been an important transportation hub from the mainland to the Western Regions. Later, Loulan was rarely seen in historical records, and gradually disappeared mysteriously. The disappearance of the Loulan Kingdom is still a mystery. More than 10 walls around the ancient city of Loulan have collapsed, leaving only intermittent walls standing alone. The panoramic view of the Loulan site is ancient and dignified, and the dilapidated architectural relics in the city are lifeless, which is particularly desolate and tragic.

Some things are really interesting. The ancient city of Loulan and the small river cemetery next to it lived in groups. But the two are indeed separated by two thousand years. Later excavations on the surface showed that it was exactly the difference of two thousand years, when the sea changed and the lake reappeared after it dried up.
