The Yumen Pass, also known as Yumenguan or Jade Gate Pass, is located 80 kilometers northwest of Dunhuang City, Gansu Province. As a strategic fort situated on the ancient Silk Road, the importance of this mountain pass can be traced back to the early Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD) where it was a vital conduit for controlling trade and transit between Central Asia and the Han Empire.
