Founded during the Han Dynasty, Pochengzi, also known as Changlecheng (or Changle Town) was the county seat of the now defunct county of Changle. It was abandoned sometime during the Tang Dynasty.

The city was founded in 1732 and was gradually abandoned after being attacked by Muslim rebels in 1862. There is a small archaeological museum at the site.

Suoyang was founded in 111 BC by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and rebuilt at this site in 295 AD by Emperor Hui of the Western Jin Dynasty. The city was an important commercial and administrative center in the region up until its destruction at the hands of the Mongol ruler Mansur Khan during the 16th century. The highlight of the ruins is the Ta'er Temple, a Buddhist temple just outside the city walls, which is believed to be the King Ashokha Temple, where Xuanzang is said to have preached for one month before beginning his pilgrimage to India.
