Qiquanhu Sayi Beacon Tower
Introduction: This is a Tang Dynasty beacon tower built to safeguard the ancient road. It is located on both sides of a dried-up riverbed at the northern foot of the Flaming Mountains, 11 kilometers directly south of Qiquanhu Railway Station, with a small path leading to the site. The Qiquanhu Sayi Beacon Tower is an important historical site along the ancient passage through the Flaming Mountains. Its exterior now has a trapezoidal shape, divided into upper and lower levels, with left and right chambers on each level. Steps lead up to the upper level, where you can overlook the surrounding landscape.
