Couple devoted to guarding cultural relics

Memet and his wife walk on a dirt road leading to the ancient structure that was put under national first-class protection in 2013. Before 2001, when Kazak herders living in the region moved livestock between their winter and summer pastures in spring and autumn, they used buildings at the site as temporary pens. After Memet started protecting the tower, he would intervene, persuading the herders to keep their livestock away from the site. Regular work About once every two days, Memet drives with his wife on their regular patrol of the fire beacon towers in the area. Frequently, after receiving requests from local tour services, he mobilizes his team of two temporary assistants and transports his four camels and two horses to the Dahaidao scenic area by truck.
