Hello again!

Is this the tour you did?

After breakfast, first visit Jiayuguan Pass. It is the first pass at the west end of the Great Wall of China,6 kilometers southwest of the city of Jiayuguan. Along with Juyongguan and Shanhaiguan, it is one of the main three passes along the Great Wall. The pass is trapezoid-shaped with a perimeter of 733 meters and an area of more than 33,500 square meters.

After lunch move on to Suspension Great Wall, 11 kilometers to the downtown Jiayuguan City, the Suspension Great Wall was built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It gets its name because there is a 231 meter long section, with an obliquity of 45 degrees, built onto a 150m high ridge. From a distance, it looks like a dragon about to extend its body towards the ground.

It looks nice!

Hello,

Thank you for the reply, I’m gonna check the links now.

I’m planning to get to Jiayuguan on a flight from Beijing. Arriving at around 15:00 and leaving to Zanghye next day at 15:00 by train. So, I’m thinking about an estimate on doing the highlights next morning, by taxi. Would that allow me enough time to see everything and be back in town at 14:00?

Regards,

Hello Rafael,

I visited Jiayuguang on a fam trip organized by the local tour operators. For individual travel, it is not easy. You may go to Jiayuguan from Lanzhou (train and flight), or from Xian ( train or flight). For how to visit Jiayuguan, please visit the 3 links below:

Hi,

Very interesting post.
I’m planning a trip to Jiayuguan and want to visit the Jiayuguan pass.

How did you get at the pass? Are there tours or did you rent a taxi for a round trip?

How long did you stay in Jiayuguan? I’m planning two days/two nights, would that be enough to visit the pass, the overhanging Great Wall and the first beacon?
Would you suggest any other attractions in Jiayuguan?

Thank you!
