The Hexi Corridor extends from Wushaoling Mountain in the east to Dunhuang city in the west, bordered by the Qilian Mountain range to the south and various peaks like Longshou Mountain to the north. Spanning approximately 1000 kilometers in length and varying in width from a few kilometers to nearly 200 kilometers, its name originates from its corridor-like appearance and its location to the west of the Yellow River. This region assumes pivotal significance in the historical, economic, and cultural exchanges among diverse ethnic groups in ancient northern China, owing to its strategic location and distinctive cultural landscape. Within the Hexi Corridor, most sections of the Great Wall were erected during the Han (206 BC- 220 AD) and Ming (1368-1644) Dynasties. Some beacon towers from the Han Dynasty were further maintained and repurposed during the Ming Dynasty.
