Ancient City of Loulan

The Ancient City of Loulan is an ancient oasis town founded around 2 BC on the north-eastern edge of the Lop Desert.
(Chinese: 楼兰古城；pinyin: lóulángǔchéng): The Ancient City of Loulan is an ancient oasis town founded around 2 BC on the north-eastern edge of the Lop Desert. Loulan was established as a kingdom in 176 BC and flourished for over 800 years. The city, once the capital of State Loulan which was one of the 36 Western Regions states, occupied a very significant position on the Silk Road. However it simply vanished in the middle of the 6th century. The disappearance of the ancient city of Loulan is one of the great mysteries in Chinese history. Now the city has already completely submerged in the desert. The only recognizable structure is a pagoda which is the largest structure in the ruins.
