• Jiayuguan Heritage Scenic Resort - The tour guide will meet guests in the lobby of their Jiayuguan hotel, holding a sign with their name. Guests will step into a private, air-conditioned vehicle and head directly to the iconic Jiayuguan Fortress. During the journey, the knowledgeable guide will share captivating histories and stories about the fortress. Guests are encouraged to ask any questions that arise.
  Upon arrival, the exploration begins with a visit to the Great Wall Museum, where guests can immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of tales and historical narratives surrounding the Jiayuguan Fortress and the Great Wall.
• Jiayuguan Fortress - Known as “the Impregnable Pass under Heaven,” Jiayuguan Fortress is the most magnificent and best-preserved pass among the thousand passes along China’s Great Wall. Strategically located at a crucial traffic hub along the Silk Road—the world’s oldest trading route connecting China, Central Asia, and Europe—the fortress exudes grandeur and historical significance.
• Xuanbi Great Wall - After enjoying a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, the afternoon adventure begins with an exploration of the Xuanbi Great Wall. As the northern extension of Jiayuguan Fortress, it forms an integral part of the ancient military defense system. Built in 1539 using locally sourced gravels and loess, this section of the wall offers a unique glimpse into the ingenuity of ancient engineering. Accompanied by the guide, guests can hike up the wall and be rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes and majestic mountains.
• The First Beacon Tower - Next, guests will journey to the First Beacon Tower of the Great Wall from the Ming Dynasty (1638 - 1644), also known as the western starting point of the Great Wall. This beacon tower is the best-preserved among all along the Great Wall, perched on a cliff nearly 56 meters above the Taolai River. Its strategic location played a pivotal role in the defense system of the Jiayuguan Great Wall, earning it the title “the First Strategic Beacon Tower under the Heaven.” If the Great Wall is the monument of the Chinese nation, then this beacon tower is undoubtedly where this remarkable monument began. Guests can follow the guide to explore the area, delve deeper into its history, and capture stunning photos.
• Wei-Jin Tombs - Before the tour concludes, guests will stop at the Wei and Jin Dynasty Brick-Painting Tombs. These tombs are a hidden gem, adorned with a vast collection of vivid brick paintings that provide a fascinating window into the social life, customs, and artistry of the Wei and Jin dynasties. Guests can wander through the tombs, marvel at the intricate artwork, and let the guide bring these ancient stories to life.
  At the end of this enriching day, the guide will escort guests back to their Jiayuguan hotel, ensuring a comfortable and safe journey.
