Have you ever dreamed of ancient China and witnessed the miracles and legends in history with your own eyes?
The Gobi Desert ancient city wall is located in the southwest of Dunhuang City, Gansu Province. It is a city wall group composed of dozens of ancient castles built in different periods. It is more than 1,500 kilometers long and spans the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions. This is a cultural heritage that has been preserved for thousands of years and has witnessed the glory and changes of China. It is a historical place in northwest China and an important hub on the Silk Road. It was once the center of exchange between ancient China and other countries in the Western Regions, witnessing countless wars, trade and cultural penetration.
The construction history of the ancient city wall in the sandy desert can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the Zhou Dynasty set up four counties in the Hexi Corridor. In order to prevent the intrusion of nomadic people from the north, the construction of the city wall began. Later, with the change of dynasties, the city wall was constantly built, expanded, and renovated, forming the scale and style we see today. The most famous of them are the Yancheng Wall during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the western section of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty.
The ancient city wall in Gobi Desert not only has rich historical connotations, but also has unique natural landscapes. The city walls here are mostly made of local loess, sand, stones and other materials, which contrast with the surrounding desert, Gobi and mountains, forming a magnificent and mysterious picture. It not only has spectacular natural landscapes, such as Mingsha Mountain, Crescent Moon Spring, etc., but also rich cultural heritage, such as Mogao Grottoes, Yumen Pass, Yangguan Pass, etc. These relics show the glorious history and diverse culture of Dunhuang.
