  1. Visitor Center
    Start · Entrance
  2. Fortress
    about 1060 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
    Enter the pass from the visitor center, through the outer wall into the barbican: the barbican is a defensive depth—once enemies enter, they are trapped; gate towers, corner towers, and watchtowers are laid out rigorously, heavily fortified. About 1 hour. Why this route: The barbican and gate tower system are masterpieces of Ming military architecture—start with the overall layout.
  3. Guanghua Tower
    about 880 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
    Climb the inner city and see the east and west gate towers: Guanghua Tower (east) and Rouyuan Tower (west) both have triple eaves, towering over the gates; from the towers you can see the Gobi and Qilian snow mountains beyond the pass. About 40 minutes. Why this route: The twin towers are Jiayuguan's symbol—gazing out from the tower, the desolation of the lone desert smoke hits you.
  4. Rouyuan Tower
    about 130 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
  5. Wall & Gobi View
    about 5860 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
