The scenic spot covers an area of 750 mu. Looking up at it, it looks like the Tang Dynasty gatehouse, which has the characteristics of the western regions. The moat, suspension bridge, beacon tower and weapon platform reproduce the magnificent posture of "ancient garrison is dangerous, tall buildings are cool, mountain roots are paved with post roads, and rivers are flooded with city walls" in Guan Jun Town, a frontier fortress in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Standing on the gatehouse, it overlooks the majestic Bogda Xuefeng in the north, overlooking the beautiful scenery of abundant water plants, contiguous wetlands, dense green forests, gurgling streams and vast grasslands. From the beginning of the bright moon, there will be a more magnificent view of "the bright moon is held on the mountain of heaven, in the boundless haze of the sea of clouds"
