Yangguan Tourist Attractions (Scenic spot level: AAAA) It is the ancient land transportation throat of China and the only pass of the South Silk Road. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was named because it was in the south of Yumen Pass. Both Yumen Pass and Yumen Pass were the gateway of transportation to the Western Regions at that time.
After the Song Dynasty, due to the gradual decline of communication with the West and land, the customs were abandoned. The Antique Beach was named after a large number of Han Dynasty cultural relics exposed on the ground, such as copper arrowheads, ancient coins, stone mills, pottery cups, etc. The Research on Xiguan Ruins said that the Antique Beach was the Yangguan Pass after the Han Dynasty, but according to the New General Annals of Gansu and the Annals of Dunhuang County in the Qing Dynasty, the Red Mountain Pass is the Yangguan Pass.

Tourist comments:
Compared with Yumen Pass, it is well preserved! "I urge you to drink more wine, and there will be no old friends in the west.". The former Yangguan City has long been destroyed. There is only one Han Dynasty beacon ruins called Yangguan Ermu, which stands on Dundun Mountain for future generations to mourn. The current Yangguan Scenic Area is a newly built imitation ancient city, similar to the Three Kingdoms City.

The beacon tower in Yangguan, the most famous ancient battlefield in history, is now where to find the arrows of the ancient battlefield. The beacon tower, standing alone now, seems to have been telling us a beautiful story. It is far from Dunhuang City, even far from the indoor Yumen Pass. Here we found an oasis nearby. This oasis is the most beautiful scenic spot here in our opinion. If we say that the southern Zhongling water show, this piece of water here is the most beautiful and rare.
