Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the dynamic-content-for-elementor domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

\n\n\nGetting There<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Gaochang Ancient City is approximately 45 kilometres from Turpan. The best way to get there is by taxi, private driver or guided tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to Expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Walking through the site, visitors can envision the layout of the former city, including the wide streets still visible today, intricate architecture and remnants of once-bustling Silk Road marketplaces. There are several key attractions that form the site, including the Astana Tombs, located nearby, which provide insights into the burial customs and artefacts of the city\u2019s former inhabitants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves, adorned with well-preserved murals and Buddhist statues, are also worth exploring. The site\u2019s huge area means that visitors are advised to spend ample time exploring the ruins on foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
