It was almost 10:30 in the evening when we arrived in Taxian County, and finally found the “Splendid Jiangshan” hotel near the county seat, and only the deluxe room cost 358 yuan per day. A big rat with a length of 20cm (not counting the tail) came into the house in the middle of the night. The most annoying thing was to report the situation to them the next morning, and they said it was impossible.

The Stone City of Taxkorgan County is one of the three most famous stone cities in Chinese history. The stone city has an irregular square shape, and the city is divided into two parts: the inner city and the outer city. The outer city has been severely damaged, and only remnants of city walls, forts and residential buildings can be seen. There are multiple layers of intermittent or continuous walls outside the city, with overlapping stone mounds and piles of chaotic stones between the partition walls.
