Xinjiang, holding the vast land with various landform including Gobi, desert, oasis and some everglade, ranks as one of the highest and least-traveled places. As such, it is a must for exciting exploration and long-term sightseeing tours undertaken for pleasure. During this two day excursion, we will go farther around Hami and explore the mysterious and ancient Lapuqiaoke City as well as the local featured Ghost City.

The Wubao Ghost City is located 20 kilometers south of Wubao Village and 100 kilometers southwest of Hami City. For new comers, it will not be so easy to find the right way. If you got lost in the Gobi desert, it will be very dangerous. Considering this factor, we kindly suggest the visitors to charter a car with an experienced local guide.

Your first stop will be the Lapuqiaoke Ancient City which is 65 kilometers to the east of Hami City. It was a relic of the city in the Tang Dynasty. In 1957, it was granted the province-level status of cultural relic protection. Judging from the vast land, the ancient city was constructed on a large-scale incorporating the north and the south city. The layout of the two halves is shaped like the Chinese character "吕". That is, the construction of the two similar parts in some kind of symmetry. Nowadays, houses have been built and orchards have cultivated. In some area, there are some faintly visible sites left. Aside the city, sites like a former Buddhist temple and beacon tower can be traced. Then drive to the Wubao Ghost City to stay overnight. Together with Qitai Ghost City in Qitai County, the Wuerhe Ghost City in Karamay, Kerzier Ghost City in Baicheng County, the Wubao Ghost City are reputed as the four great ghost cities in Xinjiang Province and it is the most famous one among them. After years of erosion by wind and rain, the ground shows stratified black oil-like layers of sand in waves. With the changing sunlight at different times of day, the land metamorphosis's and becomes increasingly mysterious. Take some pictures of the sun set here. When the sun sets, there will be some horrent bray with wind. Anybody in this case will surely feel the hair on the back of their neck stand on end.

On the second day, continue to explore the Ghost City and take pictures. We suggest you get up very early to watch the constantly changing vista driven by the sunlight. In the area, anyone will give free rein to their imagination. You may also visit the Aisikeer Old Castle which is the located 18 kilometers from the front gate of the Ghost City Resort. You may get interested in it as it is the holy land in the hearts of the local people. Due to the bone-dry and very hot local climate, over 113 tumuli with a good many cultural relics such as mummies have been found in this area. With the tour now finished return to the city.
