Inner Mongolia city of Black: broke down in the history of the boat

Black city, is the famous "Silk Road" on the whole, the scale of the most ambitious of the ruins of a city. From the Ejinaqi government Dalaikubu Town, the South can be reached 28 km. Gobi, desert, blue sky, clouds, black city is everywhere in this broad background, the vicissitudes of life, standing quietly.

Desolate silhouette

����Wall: desolate silhouette

"Black city" Mongolian as Hari Holt, Xixia Heishui city and Yuan Dynasty Khara-Khoto ruins. Generally speaking, the existing ancient city on the silk road is mostly soil blocks, black city is no exception, but it kept more intact, can clearly see the city profile. In the travels of Marco Polo that this is a prosperous city, years of vicissitudes, the black eyes in the long sand city surrounded, leaving only a desolate silhouette.

Climbing a sand dune on top of the ancient city wall, take in everything in a glance, existing for the building expansion and become, flat rectangular, 434 meters long from east to west, north-south width of 384 meters, the perimeter of about 1600 meters, a total area of nearly 170000 square meters. The southwest corner of Gongbei city have Islam buildings, stands the surface. The city is like a hundred years old, although experienced the vicissitudes of life state of aging, but without losing hundreds of years of accumulation of grace, is still a pair of RIN inviolability. Four walls, however, there are four at the entrance of the city gate in the outer wall protection, horse, Barbican continue dedicated appearance, dynamic lines of longitude and latitude, Wang Ping vertical building be visible before the eyes, greenish yellow earth in the strong northwest wind and sand and gravel from the sky under the mottled. Quicksand rolling road far, ancient city ruins and ethereal, give a person a kind of mysterious feeling.

What surprises me most is that its original, black city in the open state, including the use of rammed into the soil will allow visitors to walk the ancient city wall. Watching people climb to jump on the wall, it can not help to worry about the fate of the ancient city. Due to the edge of the desert, black city full of wind erosion, sand piled up slowly in the base of the wall, alas, a few years later, the world is no longer black city!
