Where is Jiayuguan?

Jiayuguan is the traffic artery of the ancient Silk Road. Zhang Qian once took a camel caravan loaded with silk to the west slowly. So where is Jiayuguan?

Jiayuguan is located in the middle of the narrowest valley 5 kilometers west of Jiayuguan City, Gansu Province. The walls on both sides of the city pass through the desert Gobi, connecting the Great Wall of Montenegro in the north and the first pier in the world in the south. It is the westernmost pass of the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty, and is known as "the first male pass in the world".

Jiayuguan was founded in the fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1372). It consists of inner city, outer city, Luocheng, Wengcheng, moat and the Great Wall on the north and south wings, with a total length of about 60 kilometers.

Towers, piers and forts are scattered all over the Great Wall, which consists of three lines of defense: inner city, outer city and moat, overlapping defense, forming a defense system of five miles, one long, ten miles, one pier, three miles, one fort and a hundred miles. Historically known as the throat of Hexi. Because of its dangerous terrain and magnificent buildings, it is called a key lock.

This is the western starting point of the Great Wall in Wan Li in the Ming Dynasty. Jiayuguan in ancient times, the vast Gobi, bid farewell to the homeland of the Central Plains and entered a wild land. Today, Jiayuguan, an immigrant city developed by JISCO, has gathered people from Northeast China, Sichuan, Henan, Gansu and other places, bringing infinite vitality to this new city.
