Dalete Ancient City Site
达勒特古城遗址
A Song- and Yuan-dynasty ancient city site southeast of Bole, believed to be linked to Bolo City, a key town on the northern branch of the Silk Road.
The Dalete Ancient City Site is in Dalete Town, Bole City, and is a national key cultural heritage protection unit. The city site is irregular in shape, and excavations have yielded large quantities of Song and Yuan porcelain, coins and architectural components. Most scholars believe it is linked to Bolo City, the important Yuan-dynasty town on the northern Silk Road route, and the site has now been developed as an archaeological park. Surviving remains on the ground are mainly earthen ramparts and foundations, so it is worth learning about the historical background before you visit. It is about 25 km from Bole, and opening arrangements depend on the site.
