Jiayuguan Cultural Heritage Scenic Area has three main components: the pass fortress, the First Beacon Tower of the Great Wall and the Overhanging Great Wall. The fortress walls, gates and towers illustrate the layout of the western-end pass of the Ming Great Wall. This page’s reference gallery focuses on the fortress and does not cover the other two areas.

Opening hours

Confirmed opening hours are not available on this page. Check opening and last-entry times with the venue before setting out.

Getting there

Use central Jiayuguan as your transport base, checking locations and connections separately for the fortress, First Beacon Tower and Overhanging Great Wall. Do not treat them as sharing one entrance.

Practical notes

Prepare for windblown sand, sun and temperature changes during outdoor visits. Follow open routes on wall stairways. Combined-ticket coverage, opening arrangements and connections between areas await official verification.
