Heishuiguo Site Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
It is located 12.5 kilometers northwest of Zhangye. It is 15 kilometers long from north to south and 10 kilometers long from east to west. It is an ancient cultural site in the Neolithic period and is a national key cultural relic protection unit. There are Han Dynasty tombs in the site, about 4 square kilometers. Most of the tombs have been buried in the sand, and most of those not buried in the desert have been looted before liberation. In 1956, after the National Geological Exploration Team conducted an investigation, it was determined that there was an ancient city under the site. According to legend, before the Western Han Dynasty, the Huns migrated here and designated Xinjiang as the capital of Xiaoyuezhi. Because the locals call the Xiongnu "Black Xiong", it is called "Black Water Country". On the north and south sides of the Han tombs, there are two ancient castle sites. The two castles have the same shape and a square plane. The south castle is 248 meters long from east to west and 222 meters wide from north to south. The width of the door is 7 meters, the thickness of the wall is 4.6 meters, and the thick layer of rammed earth is 0.15 meters. The buildings in the castle have disappeared, and there are a lot of bricks and tiles on the ground, and stone mills and other objects have also been found. The North Castle and the South Castle are about 1 km away. It is 245 meters long from east to west and 220 meters wide from north to south. The door opens to the south and is about 4 meters wide. In the southwest corner of the city wall, there is an earthen platform, which is square, and each side is 7.5 meters long. North Castle has been buried in quicksand. The site of Heishuiguo was attacked by wind and sand, and also suffered man-made damage. Before liberation, the garrison commander Han Qigong dispatched troops to excavate and plunder, and there were few precious cultural relics left, and the visible things were extremely limited.

[Fun] Zhang Guozhi, to Tongxiyu. Salute the country. [Cost-effective] This depends on how you see it. The attraction itself is nothing, just to your interest in the site.
The Heishuiguo Site is located12.5 kilometers northwest of Zhangye, 15 kilometers north-south and 10 kilometers east-west. It is a Neolithic ancient cultural site and is a key cultural relics protection unit in the country. There are Han Dynasty tombs in the Heishuiguo Site, about 4 square kilometers.
Heishuiguo Site: In fact, this name is not accurate, because the name is only available in the Qing Dynasty, and the reliable statement is from Heihe. But this ancient city appeared earlier than Zhang Shu. First, Xiaoyue's country was founded here, then the Xiongnu, and then the West Han Dynasty. The battle of Huo went to the sick thousands of miles to attack the Hunnu occurred here, Jin Ge iron horse swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, became famous in the first war, beheaded the enemy 8,000, won the seal of the wolf, that year he was only 18 years old. Since then, the emperor of Han Wu has set up Zhangye County here, equivalent to today's Shenzhen, is the earliest special economic zone, the ancient city of the year in the city of Jialin is a bustling, now, the wind is early by the rain and the wind blows, even the Heihe has been changed several times, Bohai Sea has become a mulberry field. The Heishuiguo ruins are divided into two cities in the north and south. The south city where the photo is located is built on hundreds of Han tombs. The ancient city is full of Han bricks and various dynasties of pottery fragments, through the woods in the distance, and prehistoric human ruins that have only been discovered soon. As a super fan of Huo Gosill, I love it so much. We were lucky and stayed for two hours in the ancient city, and the obsession with the ancient city was fully satisfied. By the way, this place is inconvenient for transportation. We are chartered, and I don't know the other way. Chartered car is about 160. The driver probably didn't expect us to play for so long. I also wanted to increase the price, we ignored him.

It is really inexplicable that such a beautiful place does not charge tickets and there are no tourists.
It is worth taking a look. Although I saw the broken wall, it is very real. The artificial has not been built. There are no protection measures. The car can be driven to the front. There are many residual bricks and ceramics in the surrounding city. It is ready to protect. It will definitely be charged if you don't go to next year this year.
If you really love history and archaeology, don't miss this place that may not be a scenic spot, after all, even locals may not have heard of it. But when you see a ruined wall and a hole in the ground, you will definitely feel that it is cool to come here and touch history up close!
''The ancient city of Heishuiguo is located here in the Korean and Korean worlds. There is an ancient base four, and it is covered by the wind and sand the night after going. 'The ancient city of Heishuiguo punched in. This is a primitive relics that have not been developed by tourism, and it is worth seeing for the little cutes who love history. The place is not very easy to find. Drive from Zhangye, along the national road, and walk about 1km to a desert institute, you can see the sign of the site. From the entrance to the inside, you will pass through two protected ancient city sites. The scale outside is small and the scale inside is relatively large. Tips☆ Search for "Black Water Country Site" on mobile phone navigation. The destination is wrong and you need to walk back some distance. ☆ The road is not easy to walk, it is very awkward, it is recommended to drive an off-road vehicle. ☆ There is a large area of desert in the site, take good equipment. Do a good job of sun protection. ☆ There are many small bugs and bees, it is best to pack a little more tightly (°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥`)
