Deep in the desert expanses, amidst the ruins, the physical remnants of ancient civilizations recreate the vivid scenes of history, sparking the imagination and evoking a sense of nostalgia for the past. Even cultures and civilizations that have disappeared can offer new values. Even if early glories have turned into rubble and debris, a historical and cultural spirit still lingers and flickers. Thus, a wave after wave of enthusiasm has emerged: the Silk Road craze, the Xinjiang craze, the Loulan craze, the Kucha craze, the Turpan craze. This has given rise to a trend—the culture of ruins. Step into the treasure trove of ruins, and the exhibition of these magnificent and breathtaking cultural relics will be presented to all.
