#Suoyang City Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
There were many cities on the Silk Road. Because of the age, coupled with the desert sand erosion and the threat of war, many ancient cities have disappeared. The ancient city with good luck still has a ruin, and the city of Lockyang is one. Lockyangcheng, formerly known as Bitter City, is located on the Gobi Desert, about 70 kilometers southeast of Guazhou County, Gansu Province. It is also one of the well-preserved Hantang ancient cities in China. It was first built in the Han Dynasty and about 1 in the east of the city of Lockyang. There is a piece of Tutalin at the kilometer, which is called the Ta'er Temple by the locals. This is the site of the Great White Pagoda in the Ta'er Monastery. In the Tang Dynasty, the gelatin Kaiyuan Temple was recorded. According to the "Da Tang Western Regions", Tang Xuanzang once said that it is more than half a month. According to historical records, the Ta'er Temple is a place where the local officials of the Guazhou and the Song and Yuan Dynasties and the people performed religious sacrifices during the Tang and Five Dynasties. It can be seen that during the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was very lively. From the aerial view of the ancient city, you can see that the main city is rectangular, 470 meters long from north to south and 430 meters wide from east to west. In addition to the main city, there are 4 Yucheng. There is no existing house, only one tower with a height of more than 1 meter, lining the adobe and five small towers. Historically, the city of Lockyang is a large ancient city on the throat of the Silk Road. It plays an important role in politics, economy, culture and military, and preserves the best ancient military defense system and ancient farmland irrigation system. At the same time, it is also a typical specimen of the vicissitudes of the ancient desertification evolution process. It is the most perfect tourist attraction combining the ancient cultural relics and unique natural landscapes in western China. If you want to experience this history, you can come here and take a turn.

Dream back to the Millennium Lock Yangcheng
there is always a city, harboring a glorious past, there is always a place, waiting for you to listen to its story. On the golden section of the ancient Silk Road, there is such a county with a profound history and culture. It is named after the melon, and it is named after the "history". Because of the "road", it is the melon. Among the merchants and towns that are eastward and westward, there is another ancient city ruins, Lockyang City, which has experienced more than 1700 years of wind and frost. The ancients said, "Why do you want to blame the willows, and the spring breeze is not the jade gate." The Gobi Desert in the early spring did not have a little greenery, and the little bit of the shuttle was growing stubbornly. Because the season of going is not right, I can't see the lock-yang that is known as desert ginseng, because the lock-yang is generally exposed to the ground in May and June every year, and matures in July and August.

I have heard about the world cultural heritage - the ruins of the city of Guazhou, and its amazing today! This is a huge and rare world! The Lockyang City Site is an archaeological site that integrates ancient sites, ancient Buddhist temple sites, ancient canal systems, ancient Shu area, and tombs. It has important research, protection and utilization value. The remnants of the Lockyang City Wall are still clearly visible. The outer city is irregularly rectangular and relatively broken. It surrounds the inner city from the north, west and east sides. There is a large temple site, commonly known as the Ta'er Monastery. There are 9 small towers arranged in the east-west line of the big tower. The shape is similar to the big tower, and most of them collapse. There are two temples in the south of the temple, which may be the remains of the bell tower and the drum tower. According to the record, the temple was originally known as Ashoka Temple.

Changyang City, the civilized specimen of the Silk Road
Yangyang City, was once an important city in the Tang Dynasty, and Xuanzang was going to set foot on the west. road. Nowadays, most of the buildings in the city have been inundated by the infiltrating quicksand. Basically, there is no such thing. Only the northwest corner of the city has a round tall building with arched door openings and east-west connections. It is said that Kaiyuan was also found in the city. Tongbao coins, Tang Dynasty brick and tile artifacts.
Winter in the western Gobi is cold and chilly. Entering the area of the Lockyang City Site, you can stand on the side of a well-preserved turret, and look at the ruins of large and small ruins. Think of Wang Changling's sentence: "Qinghai Changyun dark snow mountain, lonely city looking at Yumenguan." When we must have the same experience with us at this time.
Walk to the ruins of the city wall, the hustle and the ancient shacks that are far away from the hustle and bustle, scattered in the wilderness of the vast sky, added a few more Shen Hongxiong. Near the red willow piles, a clump of valerian grass, a cluster of camel thorns, dotted between the yellow sand dunes, looks so rich and lush. The construction scale of Lockyangcheng is twice that of the old city of Jiaohe in Xinjiang. In the existing ancient city ruins in China, the city of Lockyang can be compared with Jiaohe Ancient City and Gaochang Ancient City.
The old city standing in the Gobi, how many memories of the winds of the millennium? Standing on the site of the wind-eroded city wall, looking far away, except for the lonely city that is about to fall into the mud, only the Gobi desert. In the sun shining in the east, the sighs of Canghai Sangtian will not come out.
