Shule Ancient City Wall Ruins:Standing on the remaining city walls, one can almost hear the echoes of camel bells from two thousand years ago. This was once the capital of the Shule Kingdom, witnessing the prosperity and vicissitudes of the Silk Road.
Yafuquan Desert:Located 30 kilometers from Shule County, this desert is an excellent spot for sandboarding, camel riding, and stargazing. At dusk, the golden dunes merge with the sunset glow, creating a breathtaking view.
