From here you can not only learn more history and culture about the ancient Silk Road but also learn many famous poems of Tang Dynasty.
Yadan National Geological Park - Next you will travel to Yadan National Geological Park, the largest one of Yadan Landform found so far. The park stretches twenty-five kilometers from north to south and about two kilometers from east to west. It features the unique and beautiful scenes and landscapes of the Gobi desert.
