Travel Notes||Jiayuguan—Surprise! Meeting Thousands of Miles~(2)

A dazzling beam of sunlight shines into the new morning.

I woke up full of energy, had breakfast, and packed up to go out.

Jiayuguan, let’s go~

Jiayuguan: Known as "the most majestic pass in the world". Jiayuguan was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. The city walls on both sides of the city pass cross the Gobi Desert and are connected to the Black Mountain Cantilever Great Wall to the north and the No. 1 Pier in the World to the south. It is the westernmost pass of the Ming Great Wall and was historically known as the Throat of Hexi.

Jiayuguan is a transportation fortress on the ancient "Silk Road" and one of the three wonders of the Great Wall of China (Shanhaiguan in the east, Zhenbeitai in the middle, and Jiayuguan in the west).

Therefore, Jiayuguan Scenic Area is mainly composed of three parts: the Hanging Great Wall, Jiayuguan City, and the First Pier in the World . Each scenic spot is far apart from each other, and there is no through train, only "wild boar" sports cars.

Sha Qian told us that there is a bus available from Jiayuguan Pass to the Hanging Wall.

So today’s itinerary starts from the Hanging Wall, and then takes the Wild Boar to the No. 1 Dungeon in the World, and then returns to the starting point of Jiayuguan Pass.

Under the scorching sun, we arrived at the bus stop.

I go! If you miss this kind of bus at the wrong time, you will miss it. If you want to take the bus, please check the time before coming!

In the end, I couldn't escape the fate of Didi. In such a remote place and it's not the peak season, I can still get Didi. It's really a good character.

Use a handsome photo to prove that we have arrived at the Hanging Wall.

❤️Extra Number❤️ (Marriage Proposal! Marriage Proposal! Our little brother Datie is handsome and caring. He will take you to the places you want to go, see the scenery you want to see, and eat the food you want to eat. If you like the girl you like, send a private message Me~)

Step by step, set foot on the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty that stretches along the mountains to feel the traces of history and the passion and feats of the ancient Chinese nation.

Climb a beacon tower and look out~

The city spreads across the plains in the distance, but the Great Wall still stands majestically and quietly, guarding the ever-changing peace in the changing seas.

The Hanging Great Wall was rebuilt on the basis of the original Ming Great Wall. It is not long but quite spectacular. Unlike the blue bricks of the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing, it is made of loess bricks. It complements the landforms of Jiayuguan.

We don’t want to take the usual route, and we don’t like to turn back. After walking the last section of the Great Wall, we turned back from the deserted slope to the starting point.

Under the bright sun, in the crevices of the rocks on the steep slope, a red flower was blooming enthusiastically. When Datie saw that I liked it, he climbed down the slope and climbed up for me.

Let me become one with this scene.

Arriving at the bottom of the slope, there are stone statues of Tang Monk, his master and his disciples studying in the West.

There is also a big disciple who wants to become a disciple.

After checking in at the end of the Hanging Great Wall, it is said that there is a very unique local food near the gate of the scenic spot, which has received constant praise.

It was lunch time, so we came to look for it.

The location is on the left side of the gate, behind a few big trees, and a barbecue machine is particularly conspicuous. I can’t remember the name, but I still have photos of the special dishes.

It seems to be called: fried barbecue!

As the name suggests, it is fried meat with onions. The specialty is to wrap it in a burrito and eat it.

Fragrant in the mouth~

Meat lovers, this is not to be missed.

The boss is also very nice. He learned that we were going to the first pier of the Great Wall. They were going to the city and turned a corner, so the fare of 60 allowed us to pass.

Abandoning the 10-yuan sightseeing bus ride, we walked slowly toward the first pier along the remains of the Ming Great Wall.

The row on the right is the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, which was made of loess mixed with small pebbles, gravel and hay from the Gobi Desert.

Despite thousands of years of wind and frost, it remains standing~

Take different roads and have different scenery and surprises.

In the Gobi Desert, in the sparse grass, there is a little life that is about to sprout.

After walking through the first pier, there were too many uncles and aunts queuing up to take photos. I left a bit of suspense here, let’s take a look at the others first.

Going down the hillside, you will find a film and television base. After walking across the long chain bridge, you will arrive at the Longmen Inn.

The boss lady is waiting for you~ Eat! people! Meat! Bag! son! 😏

After a day of running around, Datie, who was scorched by the sun, sat next to a dry well, his head hanging down.

Suddenly I realized that the color he wore today matched the main color of today’s scenery *罒▽罒*

And I took a selfie with the feathers of a big bird (maybe an eagle) I picked up from the short vegetation at the foot of the Great Wall.

 

In such violent weather, on the Gobi Desert, I admired myself as I climbed up the ladder I just walked down.

Dangdangdang~

The suspense just now is revealed, let’s take a look, this is the first pier of the Great Wall in the world.

Isn’t that mound at the back particularly memorable?

This is no ordinary mound. The Great Wall started from it. It played a vital role in guarding the border and protecting the country for the Chinese nation.

Following the historical relics, we exited the gate of the scenic spot. Back to where we started today.

The Jiayuguan Pass is the highlight, while the Cantilevered Great Wall and the First Pier are just appetizers.

Picture first

The tower under the setting sun is extremely spectacular, and hundreds of years of wind and sand have not eroded it. The longer it goes, the more majestic it becomes.

Regarding historical and cultural relics, you can’t understand them just by looking at them. You can find out more with the help of a tour guide.

There are quite a lot of tour guides taking tours, so you can listen here and there. That’s about it. In fact, we can’t say that we are just talking. The little bee of the beautiful tour guide has drowned out the voices of other tour guides, so we are all ears. (Typically, you get a bargain but still behave well)

The tickets for Jiayuguan are valid for three days and include the three attractions we visited above. I’m tired from shopping today, so I’ll go back and rest for now.

After dinner, I sat on the rocking chair by the door, enjoying the cool breeze.

Ding dong~

What a surprise (✪▽✪)
