Silk Route Day 6: Journey to Jiayuguan with Fort & Great Wall
We reached Jiayuguan in early morning around 6:30am and we took the local bus to the 7 days Inn hotel and check in at 7:30am and then have a light breakfast before heading to the attraction at 9am.
We took a local bus number 4 to get to the Jiayuguan fort. It is the last bus station at the fort and the local bus transfer number 4 is pretty straight forward. We hire a bicycle for a short ride at the fort and it is a nice breezing morning ride before the actual fort visit. The whole fort may take 2 hours with relax walk and photos.
Then it is just nice to have a lunch outside the fort where there are many local restaurant along the road outside the fort entrance. Then you may hire cab for around RMB120 for the other 2 attractions as there are no local bus for this attractions. We depart at 2:30pm and then start off with the overhanging great wall (attached beside photo) for 1 hour at 3pm to 4:15pm. Then continue to the Beacon Tower from 4:30pm to 6:30pm before sending us back to the station to return back to the hotel. Attached photo is the last attraction view from Beacon Tower.
