The manuscript of Zhangye tourist attractions introduces Zhangye scenery.

According to the Neolithic stone axes and other cultural relics unearthed from Heishuiguo site in the city, as early as ancient times, human beings lived a hunting and nomadic life here. Zhangye belonged to Yongzhou in ancient times, and Qiang people lived in Xia and Shang Dynasties. During the Zhou Dynasty, Rong and Di lived here, and during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wusun, Yueshi and other nationalities flourished here. During the Warring States period, cities were established and the Great Wall was built. Today, there are still Qin Changcheng ruins in Zhangye area.

After Wusun was driven away by the Yue family and fled to Yili, Xinjiang, Zhang Ye belonged to the Yue family and controlled 120,000 strings. Yue's capital (now folk music) and Zhaowucheng (now Linze County) are both central cities on both sides of the Heihe River where Yue lives.

In the first four years of Emperor Wendi's reign (6 BC), Huns with hundreds of thousands of Qiang Bing were defeated by Khan. Zhangye became the territory of the right-wing king of Xiongnu. After the Huns occupied, they plundered continuously, which destroyed the friendly exchanges between Hungary and China and cut off the long-standing ties between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions. In BC 12 1 year, Huo Qubing was sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to conquer the Xiongnu, and later set up Zhangye County, which was named after the meaning of "breaking the Xiongnu's arm and covering China".

Zhangye is one of the four ancient Hexi counties (Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye and Wuwei) and the center of political, economic, cultural and diplomatic activities of the Central Plains Dynasty in the northwest. Zhangye was once the capital of Beiliang, the capital of the Ministry of Tourism, the capital of Gansu, and the seat of the state capitals of past dynasties, and was known as the "lock on the key". Hamming Great Wall, grottoes, temples, pagodas, ancient cities, beacon tunnels and tombs are all over the city. Dayu drew weak water into the stand, Lao Tzu rode a green ox into quicksand, and Zhou Muwang led eight horses to visit the Queen Mother of the West. Zhang Qian, Ban Chao, Faxian and others all went to the Western Regions through Zhangye. In 609, Yang Di convened envoys from 27 countries in the western regions to hold the "World Expo" in Zhangye. Tang Xuanzang went to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, and Kyle Polo lived in Zhangye for a year. The Horseshoe Temple and Jinta Temple, which were built in Wei and Jin Dynasties, have preserved sculptures and murals and have high cultural value. Main attractions of Zhangye: Horseshoe Temple, Big Buddha Temple, Shandan Military Horse Farm of Zhangye Muta Temple, Ganquan Park of Shandan Xinhe Post House Station, Hexi College, Zhenyuanlou Sunan Kanglong Temple Hunting Ground, Zhangye Forest Park, Longshou Mountain of Dongdashan, Daoxiang Temple, Ganzhou Ancient Pagoda, Zhuge Building, Dongshan Temple, Heishui State Site of West Wudang Mountain, Xusanwan City of Han Group and its tombs.

The famous tourist area: the well-known Shandan Military Racecourse has painted a beautiful picture with unique western characteristics. It is located in Damaying Grassland, Qilian Mountain, 55 kilometers south of Shandan County, Zhangye District. It is the oldest racetrack in the world, the largest in Asia and the second largest in the world.

Shandan Military Racecourse is flat, rich in aquatic plants, green in summer and golden in winter, which is an ideal place for horses to breed and grow. Horses were kept here as early as 3000 years ago. Since the Western Han Dynasty, based on the local Mongolian horses, various thoroughbred horses have been introduced from the western regions, and the hybrid breeding of Shandan horses is world-famous, so it has become the breeding base of royal military horses in past dynasties and has been enduring for a long time. Shandan horse is well-proportioned, stout, energetic, resistant to rough feeding, good adaptability, excellent speed and endurance, and is a good horse for carrying and riding. There are more than ten thousand horses at present. After arriving at Damaying, tourists continue to drive 50 kilometers eastward to arrive at the military horse farm, where they can hold horse riding, camping, horse racing or equestrian performances and visit natural scenic spots.

Hamming Great Wall

The Great Wall of Han Dynasty was called "plug" in Han Dynasty. Six years ago (1 1 1), Ding Yuan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, completed the border crossing project from the west of the Yellow River to Jiuquan. Starting from the junction of Yongchang and Shandan, it passes through Xiakou Valley to the north of Jinshanzi, passes through Duanyao, Xinhe, Sanlibao and Shilibao to the northwest, passes through Shandan City for 2 kilometers, passes through the north edge of the city, Shi Hao, Beiwan, Jing 'an and Xiaozhai, reaches Xitun North, crosses the cave ditch and enters Ganzhou District. Where the Great Wall passes through Pingchuan and Gobi, it generally consists of trenches, ridges (south side), towers built on the ridges, and towers connected with pavilions and barriers. The existing trench in Shandan is 59.95 kilometers long, 0.8 ~ 3 meters deep and 5 ~ 8 meters wide. There are ridges in the ditch, which are like soil ridges. The beacon tower is built on the ridge with an interval of about 1.25 km. Most of the obstacles are connected with the beacon tower on the ridge, with an area of about 100 square meter, and there are 3 existing obstacles. About 4 kilometers east of Shandan Xiakou Valley, because the mountain is blocked by rivers, there are no trenches and walls.

The Great Wall in Ming Dynasty was called the side wall. It consists of walls, piers and barriers made of loess or yellow sand, and the rammed soil layer is 15cm ~ 20cm thick. The wall base is about 4 meters wide and 5 meters high. There is a beacon tower on the Great Wall. The pier bottom is 8m to12m in length and below12m in height. The south side of the pier is flush with the wall, and the north side is prominent. There is no path ahead, so climb with a rope ladder. The wall has patrol rails, about 1m ~ 1.5 m wide, and the skirt wall is built on the north edge of the wall top, about 1.5m high ... When building the Great Wall, anyone who passes through the city or fortress will leave a secret door (that is, the city gate hole), and a watchtower will be built outside the door. The direction of the Ming Great Wall is basically the same as that of the Han Great Wall. The Great Wall of Ming Dynasty was built in Qin Long from the middle of Jiajing to the early Wanli period (1573- 16 19), which lasted about forty years.
