Jiuquan lies in the western part of the Hexi Corridor, surrounded by the Altyn Tagh Mountains, Qilianshan Mountains and Mazong Mountain (Northern Mountain).
Gansu's first integrated transportation and tourism project, the Xuanquan Posthouse World Cultural Heritage Site, developed by the Gansu Provincial Transport Construction Group, is scheduled to open in May.
When Dunhuang is mentioned, the most lasting impression is of its historical inheritance, principally the must-visit painted grottos of the Mogao Caves.
Jiuquan is famous at home and abroad for its Dunhuang culture, frontier culture and space technology and was selected as "The Most Popular Well-Known Western City".
