The Site Museum of Bashbaliq City, Silk Road, was inaugurated on 14 July 2022, with Beiting Ancient City—inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage “Silk Roads: Chang’an–Tianshan Corridor” list—as its focal point.[1][2]
Location and architecture
The museum is situated approximately 180 m southwest of the intersection of X208 and Houbaozi Road in Jimsar County.[3] Architecturally, the facility comprises four thematic exhibition halls—Silk Road Legends, Governance of the Western Regions, Cultural Beiting, and Beiting Reborn—arranged around a central lobby and designed to echo the concentric layout of the ancient city its collections interpret.[4][5]
Collections
The museum houses over 530 excavated artifacts spanning from the Han to Yuan dynasties, including ceramic ritual vessels, chicken‑head spouted ewers, and glazed roof tiles.[1][6] In 2025, the on‑site conservation studio completed the restoration of 110 artifacts—including pottery, coins, bone implements, and architectural fittings—to facilitate both display and research.[7]
