This is one of the entrance gates to the fort in Jiayuguan. The fort used to be on a very strategic spot of the Great Wall of China. Nowadays this place is only beautiful, with vistas of the desert and the snowpeaks of the Qilian mountain range.

Dit is één van de toegangspoorten tot het fort in Jiayuguan. Het fort lag in vroeger tijden op een zeer strategische plek van de Grote Muur van China. Tegenwoordig is de plek vooral erg mooi, met uitzicht op de woestijn en de besneeuwde toppen van het Qilian gebergte.
