The guardians of our Yangguan Road.

📍Attraction address: Gudongtan, 70 km southwest of Dunhuang City, Gansu Province 🚗Transportation: We drove there 👍️Must-visit attraction: Gudongtan, 70 km southwest of Dunhuang City, Gansu Province. It was established during the Western Han Dynasty and, together with Yumenguan, was the gateway to the Western Regions at that time. It was a must-pass barrier on the southern route of the Silk Road. It was named Yangguan because it was located south of Yumenguan. The imitation Yangguan Pass was recreated based on the description in the "Shazhou Tujing" that the "ancient Yangguan Pass was 20 steps from east to west and 27 steps from north to south". The imitation Yangguan Pass is simple and atmospheric, simple and majestic, showing the Han family's style and reflecting the historical style. As a symbol of traditional Chinese culture, Yangguan has become a place to bid farewell to the homeland and family, and a place to express the feelings of parting when traveling. Yangguan Road is a synonym for the avenue of hope and the avenue of prosperity, expressing a beautiful vision. The first picture is a statue of Zhang Qian, representing the border guards who have always protected our peaceful life, and their deeds are worth singing and crying. 🎟️Ticket information: No reservation required, CNY 50 for a ticket
