Things to do in Ruo Qiang LouLan Airport
Ruoqiang (Charklik) is a remote outpost in southeastern Xinjiang on the ancient Silk Road, near the former site of Loulan — an ancient Central Asian city swallowed by the Lop Desert. The Lop Nur salt flat, the ancient ruins of Loulan (restricted access), and the dramatic crossing point to the Altun Mountains give this area immense archaeological significance, though access to most sites requires permits and local guides.
