Jiayuguan Wall's End

The great wall extends a few kilometers beyond the fort where it ends at Black Mountain. This is that point. It is mostly restored. The first pic looks up the wall to the final watch tower on Black Mountain. The second looks back down the wall from the top of the watchtower. There is a silk road gate in the oasis that is visible. Third is a detail of the construction of the wall. 4th is a view from the watchtower. Barely visible are snow capped mountains. The last two pics show some sculptures remembering the activity of the silk road from back in the day.Læs mere
