Among the passes on the Great Wall, Jiayuguan is the most intact surviving ancient military building. The pass is also known by the name the "First and Greatest Pass Under Heaven", which is not to be confused with the "First Pass Under Heaven", a name for Shanhaiguan at the east end of the Great Wall near Qinhuangdao, Hebei. The pass was a key waypoint of the ancient Silk Road.
