【Western Great Wall】Jiayuguan Tour

**Jiayuguan Tour: Three Must-Visit Attractions** During this trip to Jiayuguan, I visited three core attractions in depth, each of which was full of historical shock! **First stop: Jiayuguan Pass** Climbing the wall of "the world's first pass", the panoramic view of the western starting point of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall is in full view. The military design of the inner city, the city wall, and the arrow tower is amazing, as if you can hear the symphony of camel bells and war drums in those days. **Second stop: Hanging Wall Great Wall** This section of the Great Wall built on a 45-degree ridge is like a giant dragon hanging on the cliffs of Heishan. Touching the mottled wall while climbing, you can feel the wisdom of the ancients' "one man guarding the pass". **Third stop: The First Mound of the Great Wall** As the westernmost beacon tower of the Ming Great Wall, this lonely mound stands on the edge of the Taolai River Canyon. The vast Gobi scenery forms a sharp contrast with the 600-year-old story of watching. Tips: The Guancheng combined ticket includes three attractions (110 yuan in peak season). It is recommended to rent a bicycle to ride the hanging wall of the Great Wall. The best time to take photos is at the first pier at sunset!
