Gaochang was founded as a garrison town in the 1st Century AD. It became the capital of the Western Han empire in the 4th Century.
We took a donkey cart into the city
It was very dusty in the dry desert especially when the wind blew
Luckily she brought the face masks. (It was actually meant for her toilet use)
This city was gradually deserted for a period of more than 2000 years
Today only the ruins remind us of this once vibrant city along the silk road
The reconstructed storage building
Xuanzang visited this city in 630 on his journey to the West
