The Silk Road travelogue part 4 - Jiayuguan 嘉峪关

Next stop along the tour is Jiayuguan 嘉峪关.

Jiayuguan is a key stop along the Silk Road. It was built along the Great Wall of China, which still stands today. It is the first pass found at the western end of the Great Wall.
The pass is still in good shape, despite its long history.
See the blue sky overhead. The view from the courtyard is majestic yet serene.
Remnants of the Great Wall continues to the west, into the desert... Beyond this pass, to the west, lies what the ancient Chinese would term as the land of the barbarians.Next stop, Jiuquan 酒泉.
