Jiayuguan Fort, Gansu Province - China. August 2009
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiayuguan_(pass)
The fort represents western tip of the Great Wall. All ancient traders coming from the west via the silk road had to pass through the fort, protecting China from the roaming bandits of the lawless, desert badlands.
