NO.8 Wulabo Ancient Town（烏拉泊古城）

Wulabo Ancient Town is located by Wulabo Lake, about 10 kilometers away from the southwestern suburbs of Urumqi City. It is an ancient site which can be traced back to the Tang and Yuan dynasties (618-1207). At an altitude of 1,100 above sea level, the town is shaped like a square, measuring 550 meters from south to north and 450 meters from east to west. Although it was built more than 1,000 years ago, the town has been well preserved. A great number of cultural relics, including pottery, bricks, gold earrings, copper mirrors, coins and jade wares, were found here.
