Monument of the World's Great Passes, A Monument of Majestic History

West of Jiayuguan City Tower, Jiayuguan City, Gansu Province

The Juyongguan Pass Tablet of the World's Famed Great Wall

Introduction

Located to the west of Jiayuguan City's city tower stands a 3-meter tall and 85-centimeter wide monument named "Mighty Passes Under Heaven". The monument runs parallel to the north-south axis and its four characters reach a height and width of 59 and 45 centimeters respectively. The monument's origins can be traced back to the 14th year of the Qing Jiaqing emperor's reign, when Li Tingchen, a military general in charge of the defense of Sufu, marveled at the might of the Jiayuguan Pass and wrote the four characters with a brush. This inspiration was later carved on stone and moved to the left of a street in the eastern district of Jiayuguan and then relocated again to its current position 165.7 meters west of the pass, becoming a historical landmark.
