Weihuan Xiongguan stands in the desert,
The western lapel lock and key protects the Central Plains.
The high city guarded the valley and the frontier was stable,
The Silk Road followed the ancient road and was wide.

? Leading the Great Wall to Qilian.
? Cantilevers guard the pass and the border is stable,
? The Xuerun Ancient Silk Road is far away.
Recently, I had the honor to go to Jiayuguan for business. I traveled westward and enjoyed the cool summer breeze in Lanzhou, the yellow cauliflowers in Menyuan, the abundant Shandan pastures, the busy wheat harvest in Minle, the empty high terraces, and the long green leaves of Jiuquan. Especially Jiayu Xiongguan is amazing, and it is specially endowed with seven unique features!
