北庭故城

没有一般中国景区的丑陋商场建筑，只有一个小小的石碑在门口，买票的办公室在地底下，造成一种宁静的氛围，终于，见到一个 Less is More 的优雅设计。讲解（录音带）还不错，很值得在慢慢的走一走，想像一下西域交通的重要城镇/国家的盛况，对比今日的颓顷的遗迹。去的时候，刚好碰上世界文化遗产协会的人隔天要来检查，洗手间干净的不得了，感动～ 希望将来仍然能维持。

4.2-4.4东线出差了三天，刚进家。路过看过了北庭都护府——北庭故城国家遗址公园。经历了春风春雨、漫天飞舞雪花、午后的温暖阳光、一夜过后的银白世界！风景这边独好！

#南疆卡娃北疆行#北庭故城国家遗址公园，西大寺，即回鹘王家寺院。壁画雕塑都是唐朝风韵，可惜所剩无几，正在进行保护性修复。

Not a compact site like the Turpan city, but remnants over a big, flat, rough area. One part has pathways being built and is fenced off for the moment, but other parts nearby are accessible. Not worth a day trip, but interesting as a stop off. When the pathways are finished and signage put in, it will probably cost real money. It may be combined with the huge new museum designed for tour buses, which costs about 56 RMB to go in. Not knowing if there was any English, we opted for eating in Jimsar instead. A row of Uighur BBQ's on the main highway beckoned us.
