Things to do in Jiayuguan

We were the last to enter the Overhanging Great Wall, practically having the whole place to ourselves. There was a slight sandstorm in Jiayuguan that day, but the Great Wall's location perfectly avoided it, making the whole experience very comfortable. Even an 80-year-old managed to slowly climb to the second watchtower – a truly satisfying experience! The next morning, it was raining at the First Beacon Tower of the Great Wall, so we didn't explore it in detail, but it was still a good experience with fewer people. The fortress was too crowded, so we rushed through. Of the three attractions, the Great Wall was actually the most satisfying. So, scenery isn't the only factor; it's closely related to the weather, your mood, and how crowded it is. Overall, it was a good trip. We headed straight to the airport at 1 pm, a very satisfying conclusion to our Northwest China journey.

The Overhanging Great Wall was too crowded; parking was free but difficult, and it seemed like it would easily cause a traffic jam. The First Beacon Tower was actually quite nice, with a good feel to it, being completely natural.

We set off at 9:00 AM and arrived at the park entrance at 10:15 AM, just in time for the 11:00 AM Meng Jiangnu Theater. My daughter had planned our trip in advance, downloading the Fantawild App, which helped us efficiently plan our rides and save time. We only visited the park's most thrilling and classic attractions, and even then, it took us eight hours. However, it was definitely worth it—the experience was fantastic!

Fantawild was a fantastic experience! The park combines thrilling rides with immersive 4D entertainment. It's clean and tidy, and the parade and nighttime fireworks create a fantastic atmosphere. It's suitable for families and friends, and offers great value for money. I'd definitely come back!

It's raining continuously in Jiayuguan today; please be careful of slippery surfaces while visiting. The wind is strong in the open fields, making it feel quite cold; be sure to bring a windproof jacket. As the western starting point of the Ming Great Wall, the rammed earth beacon stands on the cliff edge of the Taolai River Valley, its weather adding to the desolate atmosphere of the frontier. A free sightseeing bus is required to reach the ruins, offering views of the canyon landscape.

Come and see the tower. The first pass in the world. As the western end of the Great Wall, Chinese people should come and see it.

Great tour round the wine facilities, ending in the huge cellar. Tour guide only speaks Chinese but if you don't know the language you can read some english signage and translate the ones that aren't in english. 3 wines tasted were all delicious

The Jiayuguan Great Wall Museum is the first museum in my country that focuses on the history of the Long March. The exhibition gives a detailed introduction to the Great Wall. The total exhibition area is nearly 3,000 square meters. It is academic, interesting, and interactive. You can come in and visit.

It is best to ask a professional tour guide in the scenic area to help explain. If a few people form a small group, it will not cost much, but you can hear a lot of things. Otherwise, if you watch it alone, you will not understand it and it will be boring.
