Gansu Province Essentials

Gansu Province serves as the historic Silk Road corridor, connecting central China to the west. This selection highlights the region's diverse defensive history, featuring Han Dynasty reed-and-gravel fortifications near Dunhuang and Ming Dynasty rammed-earth walls near Jiayuguan. The list also includes the ancient Baguaying ruins in Minle County, the high-altitude wetlands of Lake Xiaosugan, and the urban green spaces of Lanzhou, such as the traditional architecture-themed Golden City Park.
