高昌之所以叫故城而不称古城,区别在于这是一个曾经的、而现在没有人在此生活的城市。新疆太多这样的故城了,原来的西域诸国,现在都成了一堆黄土。以火焰山作背景,高昌这个沉睡了千年的故城并没有因为我们的到来而苏醒,它依然沉默而孤独。门口有几辆驴车落寞地停着,不等我们下车,车夫已经拥了过来,很热情,春季来的人少,他们赚钱不那么容易,于是我们成了“猎物”。不过,10元钱的车费也不贵。 The reason why Gaochang called the old city and not the ancient city, the difference is that this is a once, and now no one lives in this city. Too many such old city of Xinjiang, the original Western Regions, have now become a pile of loess. With Flaming Mountain as its backdrop, the ancient city of Gaochang, a sleepy millennium, has not been awakened by our arrival, yet it remains silent and lonely. There are several donkey cart door lonely parked, waiting for us to get off, the driver has been over, very enthusiastic, few people come in spring, they make money is not so easy, so we became “prey ”. However, 10 yuan fare is not expensive.
