Yumenguan, also known as Xiaofangcheng, is also an important town on the Silk Road, which existed as early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Jade articles from the ancient western regions were imported into the Central Plains, which required customs clearance and tax payment, so it was called Yumenguan.
