West Wall, Gansu, China

Nice view in winter
What we enjoyed most is the view along the way up to the top tower. We went there in the late afternoon around 4:30 and stayed till 6:00. The sunlight ripened and gilded whatever were facing it. But the sky and snow-covered mountain range remained blue. We think it’s a wise choice to visit in winter cuz we owned the place by ourselves and took tons of pictures. The ways up and down are separate. But they lead to the same spot and you exit where you enter.

West Wall - It's tiny
A great place to visit if you are seeing the other parts of the wall as well (you can see all 3 parts using the same ticket). The wall isn't too high and there is a shop at the top, selling locks for lovers and water. The main thing to be aware of is that while the other two locations have lots of taxis waiting this place ... doesn't. You either want to have a driver or pay the taxi to wait for you.

Nice short hike in Jiayuguan
As stated in other reviews already, one is following paved tracks and views are ok but not spectacular, it’s still a nice short hike. Especially nice for couples is the stand selling locks you can engrave with your name and a message and lock them to the wall :)
