Dedi,

You are on your own. All that I know is in this email.

Jiayuguan is the very end (or beginning, depending which way you look at it) of
the Great Wall. I was there a couple of years ago. It is in Gansu. Afterwards
we drove to Dunhuang, an oasis in the desert. Wonderful scenary, you could
combine it with a vacation. It is something like a 4 hour flight, I think that
bus/train would be maybe 3 days each way.
