Features: This book primarily tells the story of Loulan, a ruins that have long sunk deep into the desert. The desolate landscape of smoky wilderness and white grass exudes no trace of human life. However, in recent 20 years, it has become a frequent highlight in newspapers and magazines and a place people seek and yearn for. Not only do Chinese people hope to have the chance to enter Loulan and see its true face; many foreign friends are not afraid of the long journey, flying across the ocean, overcoming various unspeakable difficulties to come to Xinjiang, traversing the desert, stepping on the Gobi, and designing ways to reach Loulan, considering it the greatest fulfillment in life. This book is divided into six parts: Loulan Ancient City Emerging from the Desert Sea, Seeking Loulan in the Mountains of Old Paper, Loulan History Converged in Ancient Relics and Cultural Relics, Loulan Through the Sands and Seas, and the Chronological Table of Loulan.
