Description
The Loulan Kingdom was an ancient oasis city along the Silk Road in northwest China, thriving from the 2nd century BCE to the 3rd century CE. Its remains, including Buddhist stupas and wooden tablets, bear witness to the cultural interactions between Han China, Central Asia, and Persia. Recognized as a cultural heritage site, Loulan provides valuable archaeological evidence of early trade and urban development. Its decline, attributed to environmental shifts and mismanagement of water resources, serves as a reminder of the long-standing challenges of sustainable development.
