|Yongtai Ancient City. The ancient city lost in the sands of a hundred years🏯|Yongtai Ancient City 🔸This is a lonely ancient city on the Gobi Desert, built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been over 400 years now. The wind and sand have blown away the prosperity of the past, and the ancient city we see now is in ruins, which is vastly different from the scene at that time. Most of the buildings in the ancient city have collapsed, leaving only broken walls, and the surrounding environment has become desolate. 🔸There are not many residents in the ancient city, only a few scattered households, besides the inn is the grocery store. 🔸In the evening, the herdsmen drove the sheep back to this lost ancient city at a leisurely pace, forming a beautiful sunset scroll. 🔸There are 4 urn cities around the ancient city, resembling the shoulders and feet of a turtle. Overlooking with a drone, it looks like a turtle, so it is also jokingly called 'Yongtai Turtle City'. 🔸Not far from the entrance of the ancient city, there is a deserted pool, which was originally the local drinking water source. However, due to environmental degradation and the large-scale migration of local residents, this pool has gradually become deserted and has become a pool for sheep to drink water. —— 📍|Location: Yongtai Ancient City, Baiyin City, Gansu Province, 2 and a half hours from Lanzhou 🚘|Transportation: The road is paved all the way, there is open space at the entrance of the scenic spot for parking, and cars can also drive in 🎫|Tickets: Free 📸|Shooting: It is recommended to bring a drone, aerial photography, the city is full of ruined houses, the scenery is relatively single
