The Horseshoe Temple and Jinta Temple, which were built in Wei and Jin Dynasties, have preserved sculptures and murals and have high cultural value.

Zhangye is bordered by Qilian Mountain in the south, Heli Mountain and Longshou Mountain in the north, and Heihe River runs through the whole territory, forming a unique desert oasis scene. The area is flat and fertile, rich in forests and fruits. Snow-capped mountains, grasslands, clear water and deserts are in harmony, with both southern charm and frontier customs. Therefore, there is a famous saying, "If you don't look at the snow in Qilian Mountain, you mistake Ganzhou for Jiangnan".
