哈拉浩特 堡垒 中国 图片故事:在蒙古语中,Khara的意思是黑暗,Khoto是指城堡,Khara Khoto这座坐落于丝路旁边的城镇,就是传说中的黑水城。十世纪时,黑水城是连接河套地区和中亚的交通要塞,也是丝绸之路上一个军事、政治和文化的中心。高清壁纸:英文注释:Khara Khoto Fortress, China, 1999Miles of shifting sands surround the 30-foot-high (10-meter-high) ramparts of the fortress of Khara Khoto, or Black City, in northern China's Alashan Plateau. In the 14th century, China's Ming armies laid siege to the Mongol city and diverted the Black River, which flowed just outside the fortress.
