Jiayuguan Pass was built in Hongwu five years (1372) of the Ming Dynasty. It consists of the Inner City, the Outer City, the Dire City, the Weng City, the Moat and the Great Wall on the north and south flanks, and is about 60 kilometers long.
The Great Wall is dotted with towers, duns and forts, and consists of three lines of defense: the Inner City, the Outer City and the Moat, which overlap and defend, forming a five-mile, one _, ten-mile, one-dun, three-mile, one-fort, one-hundred-mile defense system. Historically, it was known as the throat of Hexi. Because of its treacherous terrain and magnificent architecture, it was called the Key Lock.
It was the western starting point of the Great Wall of China in the Ming Dynasty. In ancient times, Jiayuguan Pass, a vast expanse of Gobi, bid farewell to its Central Plains homeland and entered a barbaric land. Today, Jiayuguan, a migrant city developed by JISCO, gathers people from the northeast, Sichuan, Henan and Gansu, bringing infinite vitality to this new city.
