Reader comments
As a legendary ancient country in the Western Regions, Loulan is a dreamy place shrouded in mystery. What caused the charming Loulan to disappear? Where did the people of Loulan go? Why is the former oasis now covered in yellow sand? By reading a large number of research works, the author sorted out a thread and clues, and restored the history of Loulan's rise and fall in the book. Through the description of history, humanities, environment, and geography, the author allows readers to constantly reflect on the development of history and the significance of ecology through gradually in-depth exploration. It is a rare masterpiece.

The writing style of this book is fascinating and the writing is smooth, making me feel like I am immersed in the history of Loulan.

It's been a long time since I finally read a book describing the history of Loulan. The language is vivid and interesting, and it contains many truths. It is really a historical story that the more I read, the more I want to read it. If all books describing history can be written like this, it will not be a bad book for readers. It is very good.
