Guan Guan, Shanxi, China: the first pass of the Yellow River into Jin, the thousand-year-old ancient city in northwest China

Located in the northwestern part of Shanxi Province, on the east bank of the Yellow River, it is the first important pass where the Yellow River flows into Shanxi Province, and has been the "screen of Jin" and a place where soldiers have to fight for their lives since ancient times. The Great Wall meanders in the territory, and the passes stand in a row. The Laoniuwan Yellow River Canyon meets the Great Wall, forming the spectacle of "the Yellow River and the Great Wall shaking hands", which is regarded as "one of the most beautiful canyons in China". It has a long history, belonging to Zhao in the Warring States period, and was a major town of nine borders in the Ming Dynasty, and the remains of the old city wall of Guan Guan and the Wenpen Pagoda now tell the vicissitudes of the border. The Yellow River culture, border culture and folk culture are blended here, and specialties such as mutton and oil cake are unique, making it a famous historical and cultural city in Northwest Jin with both natural scenery and cultural heritage.
