Suoyang City Ruins

The ruins stand in Guazhou County under Jiuquan. A 2025 county account describes visitors reading layered wall earth and post-station traces at Suoyang City. A provincial culture-bureau article groups the walled city with channels, fields, a monastery site and tombs, and dates the city roughly from the seventh to the thirteenth century.
