Though the wall has been rebuilt, it is very nice to see, you can walk up one way & down the other, that gives opportunity of photos on the wall & of it. At this time of year it wasn’t busy & blue sky’s make for great photos. We just hired a local Taxi driver to take us to both the wall & fort, about 180Y (if you don’t speak Chinese like me, download google translate App, it works offline if you don’t have a sim) & for both attractions took about half a day.

The strategic outpost at the western end of the Great Wall is the best-preserved pass.

This is the fifth section of the Great Wall that we have visited thus far - not as long in length as the others but it is strategically one of the most important piece of the Great Wall. This "restored" section of the Great Wall is located in the exact location -- unlike the nearby section that is considered to be a "replica" because it is not in a location of an original section of the Great Wall. The Jiayuguan Pass Great Wall is important in history in that is located along the historic Silk Road, and this section of the Wall is on the western end of the Great Wall and considered to be the "start" of the Great Wall. This Wall although short in length is also very challenging - the slope going uphill is almost 45 degrees which is quite steep. So hike up slowly and make frequent rest stops along the way. I do consider Jiayuguan Pass Great Wall is definitely worthwhile visit because of its strategic importance in the history of the Great Wall and location to the Silk Road trail.

Visiting in December meant there wasn’t really anyone there and it’s a little more difficult to get transport. Getting a DiDi taxi there was no problem but it was more troublesome getting a driver on the way home. Probably worth asking the taxi to wait and paying a fee. The site has an informative museum with some good photography to view. The bridge was freaking a bit too much for my liking in the cold so i retreated before the half way point

This is a beautifully maintained fortress that is located at a strategic location - Jiayuguan Pass which is an important passage for the ancient Silk Road and it is also the location for the western end of the Great Wall.. This fortress is a very photogenic structure in this remote area of China - large and imposing. We walked around grounds of the fortress and on the fortress walls that overlook the Pass area. A must see place while in Jiayuguan because it served as an important location along the Silk Road.
