Snap' Description
Stand inside the absolute dawn of trans-continental trade and military frontier lines at the world-famous Yumen Pass (Jade Gate). Masterfully constructed out of rammed earth and desert reeds over 2,000 years ago during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, this rugged square fortress structure guarded the flow of western jade and luxury textiles. Winding timber trails loop around the ancient clay battlements.
