Where is the ancient camel salt road? Where does the ancient camel salt road pass?

Located in Alashan region of Inner Mongolia, there is an ancient salt transportation road from desert to Haloxylon ammodendron to grassland and finally to Anjiu Temple. This ancient road is the camel salt road.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a camel caravan of sixty-peak camels passing by with salt. The weather changed suddenly, and it snowed heavily. The camel caravan lost its way and never came out again. Since then, it has become a salt lake, and Jilantai means sixty in Mongolian. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty married Princess Goose Web to Abao, the king of Alashan. The princess was very sad because the people lived in poverty. Emperor Kangxi heard that Jilantai Salt Lake would be given to the princess. Since then, Alashan has the right to mine and sell salt lakes, forming an ancient desert salt transportation road that stretches for thousands of years.

There are many beautiful scenery along the ancient road. Walking along the ancient road, you can pass Wuhai Lake, the ruins of Selma Temple, salt lake and Haloxylon ammodendron forest in the desert.

Jilantai Salt Lake

Jilantai Salt Lake is a large inland salt lake, which was once called Tangwenchi, Dabusu, Jilantai Naoer and Taoli Naoer. As early as the 48th year of Qing Qianlong (1783), the name of Jilantai Naoer was used, and it has been used ever since. Jilantai Salt Lake is located in Alashan Zuo Qi on the southwest edge of Wulanbuhe Desert in Inner Mongolia, on the alluvial fan between Helan Mountain and Bayanwula Mountain on the southwest edge of Wulanbuhe Desert, surrounded by Gobi grassland and sand dunes.

Wulanbuhe Desert

Wulanbuhe Desert is Mongolian, which means Red Bull. From Wuhai Lake or standing on Wuhai Lake Bridge, you can see the most beautiful "sunset glow and sand water".

Kenteaobao

Kent Aobao is an Aobao built by Haloxylon ammodendron at the top of Wulanxili Mountain in the old Kobobag (now Bayin Aobao Gacha, Ustai Town, Alashan Economic Development Zone). The base radius of Aobao is 9 meters wide, 1 m high, the middle layer is 0.7 meters, and the upper layer is 1 m high, including flag planting and decoration, and the height is 5 meters. This Aobao is famous because it is related to Genghis Khan and Alashan celebrity Dai's invasion of Jiri Gala, amuer.

Anjiu temple site

The site of Selma Temple is also known as the site of Anjiu Temple. According to the research of Xiliang, this castle in the desert was built at the end of 19. It belongs to Alashan North Temple (Yin Fu Temple) and was built at the expense of Salmud, the general manager of Alashan military forces at that time. There were more than 80 lamas at the peak, and what we have seen so far was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
