The west city is the royal city, where palaces, temples, military and government agencies, and noble houses are located; the east city is a commercial area, where business travelers from all over the world gather here, and there are many shops. There are hundreds of merchants in Khotan and Huihe There are so many, it is extremely prosperous. During the period when the Xixia Kingdom controlled the Hexi Corridor, it was also an important town on the South Silk Road and the Tang-Fan Ancient Road. In the 19th year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Qingtang City was abandoned after the northern half of the original Qingtang City was rebuilt into the Acropolis of Xining.
