Things to do in  Jiayuguan

Jiayuguan Pass lies at the end of the western section of the Great Wall of China. It’s a remarkably well-preserved section, and once marked the boundary of Ming Dynasty China, in an area known for its wild terrain. Ancient soldiers or nomads who arrived here were robust souls.

The Weijin Tombs are thought by many to be the world’s largest underground art museum. Here, several family burial tombs dating back thousands of years have been excavated, unearthing bodies, artifacts used daily in the home, and hundreds of murals drawn on bricks. The pictures on the murals provide insight into life in the Wei and Jin dynasties.
