Jiayuguan: City tower and wall

Jiayuguan is a must-visit stop in the world's most mighty pass. One day, between the pass city and the hanging wall Great Wall, encounter the unique atmosphere of Jiayuguan.

Before even venturing deep into Jiayuguan, the presence of the city had already arrived. From afar, seeing that scene, even the fatigue from traveling quietly soothed me, and I just wanted to stand a little longer.

The Cliffside Great Wall is the most captivating part of Jiayuguan. Following its veins slowly, every corner hides a different expression, stretching time and space here.

Avoiding the crowds and slipping into the First Pier of the Great Wall, Jiayuguan reveals its true form. The elderly, the alley, the stove, and the laughter of the stove all enter the memory even before the scenic spots.

After nightfall, the black mountain at Jiayuguan lights up, the warm yellow light turning the grandeur of the day into gentleness. Sitting down and doing nothing is also a kind of arrival.

When leaving Jiayuguan, I felt a bit reluctant, but what played in my mind was the fortress city. But it was precisely this reluctance that proved the trip was worthwhile—it quietly left a part of itself with you.
