Question

   Once there lied Loulan ancient city of the Silk Road beside the beautiful and rich Luobu Lake. Businessmen from every country came here and there were dancing parties. Everything shows that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.

   However,two thousand years later,this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. Then it became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks.

   Loulan was first “discovered” by a Swedish man Sven Hedin in 1900. People from America,Britain,Japan and Sweden,all set foot here. Then in the 1930s,a Chinese named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics (遗物) that were beautifully and carefully made.

   It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin Dynasties (朝代) ，and covered an area of some 100,000 sq. meters. Inside the city,there were the ruins of government offices,temples and other old buildings. Outside the city there were some dried rivers and much farmland. In the past centuries,many things have been dug out there including Han Dynasty coins,mirrors and many others from Greek and Roman times. All these things show that a lot of business between East and West once took place there.

   Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area,the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless “forests” of mounds (小丘) which aren’t easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery (神秘) has been attracting so many people from so many countries.
