There are mummies in China, and the most famous one is "Loulan Beauty".

1980, Mu Shunying unearthed a female mummy, which was called "Loulan Beauty" in history. It is the earliest body found in Xinjiang, about 3800 years ago. Scientifically speaking, this woman was about forty-five years old when she died. Her height before her death was 1.55 meters, and now she weighs 10. 1 kg. Her blood type is O. When unearthed, she was lying on her back in a typical wind-eroded sand platform, and the top of the tomb was covered with branches, reeds, side horns and straw baskets. The found body was dressed in coarse wool fabric and sheepskin and leather boots sewn with thick thread.

The hair is more than a foot long and yellow-brown, and it is wrapped in a pointed felt hat with several feathers in it. The skin color is reddish brown and elastic, the eyes are deep, the bridge of the nose is high and narrow, and the chin is pointed, which has distinct characteristics of Europa race. There are still different opinions on the specific ethnic types of the people represented by this body, and whether they were local aborigines or migrated from other places before their death.

Loulan:

A country in the ancient western regions, later Shanshan, is now only left. Around the end of the 4th century, Loulan City was finally abandoned. Loulan Kingdom starts near Guyangguan in the east, reaches the ancient city of Niya in the west, reaches Altun Mountain in the south and Hami in the north. ?

Loulan Ancient City now belongs to Ruoqiang County, Bayinguoleng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, with a straight line distance of 220 kilometers. Archaeologists have redefined the location of Loulan ancient city as 89 55' 22 "east longitude and 40 29' 55" north latitude. The four walls are about 330 meters long, with a total area of 10.82 million square meters, which is basically square.
