Yangguan Museum

Yangguan Museum was built during the reign of Emperor Hanwu of the West Han Dynasty. It has been well protected by waters and mountains around and echoes with Yumen Pass, and therefore known as an important pass of defending the invasion of the northwest nomads in the Han Dynasty. And because of its special location, it used to be an important gateway on the Silk Road. With its long history, rich cultural connotations, and the special location, Yangguan has formed a unique local regional culture.
