Jiuquan lies in the western part of the Hexi Corridor, surrounded by the Altyn Tagh Mountains, Qilianshan Mountains and Mazong Mountain (Northern Mountain).
As spring breathes life into the land, Gansu's Yanchiwan Wetlands welcome their cherished visitors once again. Over 5,000 migratory birds, including bar-headed geese, ruddy shelducks, mallards, greylag geese, and black-necked cranes, have arrived at the wetlands. These early travelers are the first to settle in for the season, turning the area into a bustling nursery for new life.
Jiuquan is famous at home and abroad for its Dunhuang culture, frontier culture and space technology and was selected as "The Most Popular Well-Known Western City".
