Turpan is China's Death Valley. At 154m below the sea level, it’s the second-lowest depression in the world and the hottest spot in China. Despite the heat, the ground water and fertile soil of the Turpan depression has made it a veritable oasis in the desert, evidenced by the nearby centuries-old remains of ancient cities, imperial garrisons and Buddhist caves. Our Xinjiang travel specialists can tailor make an unforgettable private Turpan tour for you with their years of personal experience.
Sugong Pagoda, also known as Emin Minaret, is a splendid Afghan-style structure founded in 1777 with the bowling pin shape decorated with a dozen brick motifs, including flowers and waves. Kerez Well is a museum dedicated to the uniquely Central Asian-style system of underground aqueducts. Flaming Mountains is immortalized in the Chinese classic Journey to the West. The midday appearance of it aptly compared to multicolored tongues of fire. Established by the Chinese as a garrison town during Han Dynasty, Jiaohe Ruins is one of the world’s largest and best-preserved ancient cities.
