--The Jiayu Pass:
It is not only the western end of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), but also the vital passage of the famous Silk Road, which was first built in the 5th year (1372) of the Hongwu reign in the Ming Dynasty. It is so called because is built at the foot of Jiayu Mountain.The circumvallation of the Jiayu Pass looks trapeziform and there is a thick wall built outside the western circumvallation, which makes the defense of the circumvallation stronger. The circumvallation is 11.7 meters high and 733.3 meters long in total. There is an area of more than 33,500 square meters of the circumvallation. Outside the northern and southern circumvallation are parallel low cob walls, which are called the additional wall built for defense.After three large-scale repairs and decorations in 1950, 1957 and 1973, the Jiayu Pass took on a new look as an impregnable pass. Many visitors come to the Jiayu Pass to cherish the memory of the past.

-- Overhanging Great Wall:
Located on the north slope of Heishan Mountain at the north side of the Shiquan Gorge entrance, 8 km to the north of Jiayuguan Pass, this section of the Great Wall was built in 1539 of the Ming Dynasty. The wall falls steeply downfrom the mountain ridge, as if it overhangs and blocks the Shiguan Gorge entrance, hence the name of "Overhanging Great Wall". Now only a section of wall is left, which is 4 meters wide on the bottom, 2 meters wide on the top and 0.5-6 meters tall. on the top os the wall there are battlements and parapets. On both ends there i a beacon tower. Steps are paved on the first tower and along the slope. Climbing up the steps, visitors are walking as if on flat ground on level places but climbing cliffs on precipitous places.
