31 RMB admission includes the small museum and a look at tomb no. 6. The guide might as well be non-existent. She offered no explanation/commentary at all throughout unless we asked specific questions; and even then, the answers she served up were as common as any that I could've read anywhere else. Hardly enlightening. Big thumbs-down for the worst guide we encountered on our Gansu trip.

Unique Suggestions: Take pictures of the "wasteland" and snow-covered Qilian mountains around!

Yong standing on the Great wall

Not just trap but one of the worst tourist trap. We were trapped here for few hours, very very cold in December but hey what to do, nobody want to leave because it was just perfect. We have to leave because our taxi is waiting at the entrance also to have our lunch, this is a big trap to me.
