Jiaohe : Historic Relics along The Silk Road 交河故城
This is an UNESCO site along The Silk Road, situated in Turpan, Xinjiang, China. This historic relic is over 2000 years old. No bricks were used for the whole city : walls and partitions were dug up from mud.
The ancient city of Jiaohe was founded and built by the Cheshi people from the 2nd to the 5th century BC. It reached its peak in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty. Due to successive years of war, the city of Jiaohe gradually declined. At the end of the period of the Yuan Dynasty Chahetai period, Turpan was fighting for years. The Jiaohe City was seriously damaged and was finally abandoned. After a brutal war of many years, the rebel forces of the 14th-century Mongolian nobles such as the Haidu capital successively broke through Gaochang and turned into rivers. At the same time, the Mongolian rulers forced local residents to abandon their traditional Buddhist beliefs to convert to Islam. Under the double blow of spirit and material, the cross-river finally completed its life.
(新疆吐魯番市古城）交河故城是世界上最大最古老、保存得最完好的生土建築城市，也是我國保存兩千多年最完整的都市遺跡，唐西域最高軍政機構安西都護府最早就設在交河故城。 1961年被列為國家重點文物保護單位。
交河故城是公元前2世紀至5世紀由車師人開創和建造的，在南北朝和唐朝達到鼎盛，9至14世紀由於連年戰火，交河城逐漸衰落。元末察合台時期，吐魯番一帶連年戰火。交河城毀損嚴重，終於被棄。14世紀蒙古貴族海都等叛軍經過多年的殘酷戰爭，先後攻破高昌，交河。同時蒙古統治者還強迫當地居民放棄傳統的佛教信仰改信伊斯蘭教。精神與物質的雙重打擊下，交河終於走完了它生命的歷程。
2014年6月22日，在卡塔爾多哈召開的聯合國教科文組織第38屆世界遺產委員會會議上，交河故城作為中國、哈薩克斯坦和吉爾吉斯斯坦三國聯合申遺的“絲綢之路：長安-天山廊道的路網”中的一處遺址點成功列入《世界遺產名錄》。
