Day 2 Jiayuguan Pass, Overhanging Great Wall, Wei & Jin Mural Brick Tomb

Also known as "the First and Greatest Pass under Heaven", Jiayuguan Pass is the best preserved and most magnificent military building among the three passes of the Great Wall. Located at the narrowest point of the western part of Hexi Corridor, Jiayuguan Pass is a key passageway of the ancient Silk Road. It commands fascinating views of the boundless Gobi Desert and the snow-capped Qilian Mountains. Next, visit the Overhanging Great Wall. Running about 9km north of Jiayuguan Pass, the Overhanging Great Wall is believed to have been first constructed in 1539 during the Ming Dynast standing 1.5 kilometers long and snaking up the mountain. Using yellow earth and local gravel, the wall was built painstakingly layer by layer. With a steep ascent over 400 steps to the top of the 1997 reconstructed Great Wall, the stunning snow-covered Qilian mountains, the vast open desert, and the factories of modern day China can be seen in the distance.
