Khara-Khoto - 黑水城

Eji Nai City (Tangut language, transcribed into Chinese as 亦集乃 Yijinai), paraphrased to (Modern) Mongolian as Khar khot ( "black city") and to Chinese as Heishui City (Chinese: 黑城 Hēichéng "black city" or 黑水城 Hēishuǐchéng, "black water city"), was a Tangut city in the Ejin khoshuu of Alxa League, in western Inner Mongolia, near the former Gashun Lake. It has been identified as the city of Etzina, which appears in The Travels of Marco Polo.
The present banner Ejin Banner is named after this city.


黑水城,西夏城名,今内蒙古额济纳旗东北,位于额济纳河下游的巴丹吉林沙漠的边缘地带。西夏十二监军司之一黑山威福司治所。最初是因额济纳河而得名,额济纳,原是西夏党项族语,意为“黑水”。该河来源于祁连山的雪水。每年,祁连山上融化的部分雪水,都要汇成河流,向北流向内蒙古阿拉善盟的额济纳草原,最后注入最北端的居延海中。这条由雪水汇成的河流,就是古代人称为“黑水”的额济纳河。


黑水城,因旁边有黑水河流过,所以取名为黑水城。元代时又称“亦集乃城”、“哈拉浩特”,仍为黑色都城之意






















到处都是这种怪胎
