Very well preserved tombs from the late 3 Kingdoms period and the Eastern Han Dynasty. The paintings on the tomb walls and bricks are breathtaking. Visitors are guided by local guides who provide excellent background information.

It was built in Han Dynasty about 2000 years ago. Also known as Jade Gate Pass north of Dunhuang in the middle of Gobi desert. It was impressive to see the Great Wall extending from China's east coast all the way here in Silk Road. An excitement for Great Wall enthusiasts. Entrance 40Yuan part of the one day tour.
