The First Pier of the Great Wall in the Desert

The First Pier of the Great Wall stands beside Jiayuguan, accompanied only by an earthen mound and a short section of low wall. While it may not offer much in terms of sightseeing and entertainment, its historical significance far surpasses its visual appeal. Stepping on this land, every step feels like a resonance with the ancients, experiencing the vastness and desolation of the ancient frontier. The Taolai River, like a jade belt, gently winds around, adding a touch of vitality and dynamism to this ancient relic. The suspension bridge over the river is quite good for a visit. For the brave, there is a glass platform to walk on, a clever blend of modernity and history, allowing one to experience excitement while appreciating the millennia-spanning grandeur from a unique perspective. This attraction does not require an additional ticket; it is included with the Jiayuguan ticket.
