General presentation
Wuwei
Former Liangzhou, Han tombs and temples recall a great crossroads of the Hexi corridor.
Wuwei Confucian Temple, Tuantishan Caves and Wuwei Oasis give Wuwei's most eloquent landmarks. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage and desert areas meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
