(231210) -- LANZHOU, Dec. 10, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on May 16, 2023 shows a worn-out watchtower of the Great Wall in Shandan County of Zhangye City, northwest China's Gansu Province. Gansu Province is home to multiple sections of the Great Wall that add up to 3,654 kilometers in length. The Hexi Corridor, a critical part of the ancient Silk Road winding through south of the province, boasts more than 1,400 kilometers of the Wall built in the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD), and over 1,200 kilometers erected in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Gansu is therefore dubbed "an open-air museum of the Great Wall." (Xinhua/Chen Bin)
