Jiuquan lies in the western part of the Hexi Corridor, surrounded by the Altyn Tagh Mountains, Qilianshan Mountains and Mazong Mountain (Northern Mountain).
To attract more visitors and investors from China and abroad, Dunhuang in Gansu province introduced special measures at a promotional event in Beijing last week, among them free admission to tourist attractions, improving the quality of educational tours, providing subsidies for event organizers, supporting local performances, and expanding airline routes and flights.
At the age of 10, Wu Mingfei received a gift from his mother: a thick book about the murals in the Mogao Caves of Dunhuang, Northwest China's Gansu province. This gift ignited his passion for painting and inspired his dream of visiting the caves one day.
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".
