Jiayuguan

In Gansu province

Jiayuguan is a desert city in northwestern Gansu built around the great western terminus of the Ming Great Wall, the mighty Jiayu Pass fortress that once guarded the Silk Road frontier. It has a cold desert climate with hot summers and bitterly cold winters. An airport and rail on the Lanzhou–Xinjiang corridor serve the city. For an international student, Jiayuguan offers dramatic Great Wall history, desert and glacier landscapes, and a small, quiet urban scale.
