JIAYUGUAN
Jiayuguan, in
the Ganzu Province, was a strategic spot on the ancient silk road
located at the western end of the Ming period Great Wall. A large
command-post was built at a place called Jiayuguan in 1372, on the orders of the
first Ming Emperor. It has been restored since 1949. There are two large
gate-towers overlooking a panorama of desert & bare mountain, which in
winter is covered with a coat of fine, wind-blown snow.
