Day 2 Ruins of Gaochang Ancient City, Bezklik Thousand Buddha Caves, Flaming Mountain, Emin Minaret and Karez Wells
Morning visit to the Ruins of the Ancient City of Gaochang. Built of mud and adobe bricks as a garrison town in the 1st century AD, the city of Gaochang was abandoned during the early Ming dynasty and what is left now is just ruins of the ancient temples, houses, palaces and the old city wall. Next, visit Bezklik Thousand Buddha Caves constructed by the Buddhist Uyghurs around the 10th - 13th centuries. The Bezeklik Caves were the largest of the various Buddhist monuments that the Uyghurs had a hand in constructing around Turfan before they converted to Islam. Continue with a photo stop at the Flaming Mountain. Nothing grows on this mountain and the highest temperature of summer could reach 47.8 degree centigrade or 118 degree fahrenheit, making it the hottest place in China. Afterward, visit Emin Minaret. This 40 meter-high brick minaret is part of a large mosque, built in 1778. The minaret has an elegant conical shape; its brick laid in patterns that make it looked knitted. Finally, visit the Karez Wells. Karez is covered water channels that bring melt-water from the Tianshan Mountains to the north and west into the Turpan basin. Today over 1,100 Karez Wells are still in use bringing water to this dry and hot city of Turpan.
