【シルクロードの奇跡】世界最大の生土城郭・交河故城と、街に迫るクムタグ砂漠の絶景が凄すぎた！｜新疆ウイグル旅 Day5

Day 5 of our trip to Turpan, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region! This time, we'll visit Jiaohe Ancient City, one of the world's largest natural earthen fortress sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Kumtag Desert, said to be the closest desert to a city in the world. In the first half, we'll head to Jiaohe Ancient City, a natural fortress perched on a cliff between two rivers. We'll explore the labyrinthine ruins, showcasing the astonishing construction techniques—built not by stacking bricks, but by excavating the earth itself—and the central avenue that separated the ruling class from the common people. In the second half, we'll take a high-speed train further east to the city of Pichan (Shanshan). We'll climb the massive sand dunes of the Kumtag Desert, which looms right in front of the city. We'll share the breathtaking scenery of this miraculous desert, which has coexisted with the city for thousands of years thanks to a delicate balance of winds, and the silky smooth texture of the sand. See the real Uyghur life that you can only see by visiting the site! Timestamps [00:03] Day 5 of my Turpan trip!

Today, I'll take you to experience the ultimate charm of Turpan and Shanshan in depth. We recently arrived at the world's largest, oldest, and best-preserved architectural site in Chicheng City - "Jiaohe Old City." On the road that has been running for thousands of years, the history of Buddha's success has been heard, and the prosperity of the road has been full of prosperity. 紧 adhesion, we were in front of you, and you were in the ``green town and Huangsha companion'' in the desert. There is a gigantic mountain on the hill, looking at the sunset, the desert is dyed golden yellow, and there are many kinds of trembling words! I'm happy to say that I forgot to mention this, and I'm glad to hear that you've forgotten about it!
