Ten must-see scenic spots in Gansu.

I know this! For me who love traveling, Gansu is a place that people can't forget to return. At that time, I collected some information about the must-see scenic spots in Gansu. Now I will share the information of the top ten scenic spots in Gansu with friends in need ~

1, Yumenguan

brief introduction

Also known as the Small Square City, it prospered with the prosperity of the Silk Road. It used to be the only place where businessmen from the western regions and people from the Central Plains came and went.

Meiyu in Hotan has been imported into the Central Plains from here since ancient times, hence its name.

With thousands of years of erosion, Yumenguan has long lost its original appearance. Now Yumenguan seems to be the remains of rammed earth piles.
