The Ancient City of Goachang
A video of the ruins of the ancient city of Goachang, near Turpan. You are able to be pulled by donkey-carts throughout the ruins of the city. Gaochang, built in the first century B.C. and originally called Gaochangbi, used to be a garrison town and later became a key point along the ancient Silk Road. By the seventh century it held sway authority over 21 other towns and the practice of Buddhism led to the establishment of many monasteries and temples. In the ninth century, the Uigur established the Kharakhoja Kingdom here and Manicheamism flourished. The city was burnt down around the 14th century, during a period of warfare that lasted 40 years.
