Wave After Wave of Sand – Chasing Dreams at Jiayuguan

JiGuan Town MoXi, horses galloping across the desert. Curved roofs and towers reach the sky. Solid as gold, banners flutter proudly, ready to defend against any external threats.

Standing on the ancient city wall, looking out towards AnXi. Travelers from the Silk Road pass through. Pursuing dreams of China's rise, overcoming all obstacles.
