Attraction Type:
The Stone City, with a history over 2,000 years old, is located in the north of Tashkurgan County. It was famous for its location at the junction of the middle route and southern route of the ancient Silk Road.
Because of its strategic importance, the Stone City was made the capital of Puli Country in Western Regions during the Han Dynasty (206BC-220). After the Western Regions were unified and ruled by the Tang Government, administrative offices were established here. Later in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) the Government repaired its old buildings and enlarged the area. It was in the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) that a new city was built to the south and the Stone City was abandoned.
In this city, travelers can appreciate the view of the ruined city with the beautiful surroundings such as vast grasslands, green mountains, clean rivers as well as the the flavor of national traits of the Tajik people. Tajik is a hospitable group with warm hearts to treat you as a family member.
