Stone City Ruins, Tashkurgan, Xinjiang 新疆塔什库尔干石头城遗址
The ruins of the Stone City stand on a high terrace at the edge of Tashkurgan town, Xinjiang, with the snow peaks of the Pamirs behind and the grassy meadows of the Tashkurgan valley below. This was a key point where the ancient Silk Road crossed the Pamirs; the Tang kept a garrison here. The broken walls rise and fall with the hill, especially desolate in the evening light.
