The old photo of Gansu in 1943, the majesty of Jiayuguan, the street view of Dunhuang and Yumen

Today, I would like to share a group of old photos of Gansu Province in 1943. The photographer was Joseph Needham, the Scientific Counsellor of the British Embassy in China, who set up a Northwest China expedition in September 1943. During the expedition, he took a large number of old photos of the northwest region, and also took a large number of valuable images of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes

Some photos of Dunhuang, Yulin and Jiayuguan are selected in this group. Welcome to read them

嘉峪关,号称“天下第一雄关”, 位于甘肃嘉峪关市西5公里处最狭窄的山谷中部,城关两侧的城墙横穿沙漠戈壁,北连黑山悬壁长城,南接天下第一墩,是明长城最西端的关口,历史上曾被称为河西咽喉,因地势险要,建筑雄伟,有连陲锁钥之称。
