Located in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, the Yangguan Pass was established around 120 B.C. during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. It was the westernmost outpost of China at that time. As a critical landmark on the ancient Silk Road, Yangguan has been immortalized in numerous Chinese poems over the centuries.
Although the ancient pass has been buried beneath the sand for over a millennium, visitors can still sense its historical significance through the ruins of the ancient structures and the cultural artifacts exhibited at the Yangguan Museum.
