Feng Sheng, a General of the Ming Dynasty built Jiayuguan Pass after pacifying the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty in Hexi area.

With the construction of Jiayuguan, the situation of "The western territory in Ming Dynasty reached Jiuquan" has been formed.

Jiayuguan area is the only way for envoys from the western regions to pay tribute in history.

Jiayuguan still retains its functions because Qing Dynasty followed the system of Ming Dynasty. Later, with the decline of the Qing Dynasty, Jiayuguan was depressed.

In recent years, Jiayuguan Pass has held the ceremony of "Outgoing the pass in the ancient style" in Ming Dynasty, which reproduced the grand occasion of Jiayuguan that year.

In Jiayuguan City, there are also ancient tombs of Wei and Jin Dynasties known as "Underground Galleries", among which the brick frescoes unearthed are rich in themes.

In recent years, Jiayuguan City has made great efforts to develop the tertiary industry and service industry, and has successively built many projects such as Fantawild, Silk Road Cultural Expo Park, Caohu National Wetland Park, etc.

At present, Jiayuguan has successfully held six film festivals and has become an important platform in the field of short film and television in our country.

Jiayuguan has a deep connection with triathlon and has become one of the most experienced triathlon areas in China.

Jiayuguan City is an important node city on the Silk Road Economic Belt.
