Jiayuguan is located at the western edge of the ancient Hexi Corridor, a historic crossroads along the Silk Road. Here, amidst the vast expanses of the Gobi Desert, ancient fortifications still bear witness to centuries of cultural exchange. Jiayuguan Tours invite you to step through the gates of Jiayuguan Fortress, walk its ramparts, and take in spectacular views of the desert and the Qilian Mountains. Continue with a visit to the Jiayuguan Great Wall Museum to discover the fascinating history of this legendary frontier town.
Beyond the city limits lies a wealth of diverse landscapes and heritage sites that reveal the richness of Gansu. Jiayuguan Tours also take you to Zhangye Danxia National Geopark, where multi-coloured rock layers reveal different hues in changing light. Alternatively, head to Mati Temple to explore ancient Buddhist caves and temple complexes built into the rocky slopes of the Qilian Mountains.
