What travelers say:

Stop and walk slowly in the grape ditch, and it is almost evening before taking a taxi to Jiaohe Ancient City. The difference between the old city and the ancient city is that the former is no longer inhabited. The bare ruins of the broken wall and the loess under the sunset make this whole city more empty and desolate. This is a well worth visiting in Turpan, although the fare is 95 not cheap. (The ancient city of Jiaohe was founded and built by the Cheshiremen from the 2nd to 5th centuries BC. It reached its peak in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and Tang Dynasties. In the 9th to 14th centuries, due to the strategic location, Jiaohe City gradually declined. During the Chahetai period in the late Yuan Dynasty, the war in Turpan was fought for years. Jiaohe City was badly damaged and finally abandoned. Jiaohe Ancient City is the largest and oldest and best preserved city in the world, and it is also the most complete urban relics preserved in China for more than 2,000 years. The highest military and political institution in Tangxi Province, Anxidu Hufu, was first located in Jiaohe Ancient City. : In Turpan, I deeply realized that it is not easy to take a taxi back to the city from the scenic spot. Although these scenic spots are only about 8 kilometers away from the city, if you don't contact the taxi driver in advance to add money to pick you up, no one will come over. Unlike Urumqi Korla, these cities can also use online car-hailing platforms such as Didi Gaode, which are monopolized by taxis in Turpan. There is only one cat on the platform that occasionally takes orders, and they are all taxis. So this time it was dark for a long time before finally and another couple of mother and son hit the car back to the city.
