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." (Photo by Zhang Xiaoliang/Xinhua)
