There is a vast desert 20 kilometers northeast of Jiayuguan City. Do you think it's just an ordinary Gobi desert? In fact, there are more than 1400 ancient tombs in the Wei and Jin Dynasties distributed at my feet. This is the famous Jiayuguan Wei and Jin tombs, which is also known as the "world's largest underground gallery".
So how big is this so-called "the world's largest underground gallery"?
What's in it?
Who are its tomb owners?
Then follow us,
Go and open the door of the Wei and Jin tombs at Jiayuguan,
Go and see the story that happened here thousands of years ago.
The ancient tombs of the Wei and Jin Dynasties in Jiayuguan cover an area of about 13 square kilometers,
Among the 18 tombs excavated and cleaned successively,
Nine tombs have murals,
Most of them are well preserved,
Some are as fresh as new,
But now only tomb 6 is open to the outside world.
