Yumen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yumen (Simplified Chinese: 玉门; Traditional Chinese: 玉門; pinyin: Yùmén, literally, "Jade Gate,") is a city in western Gansu province in China.
It is a county-level city with a population of over 100,000. It is located on the Silk Road and is best known for its oil production.
It is not the same place as the famous Yumen Guan or Jade Gate frontier-pass of ancient times, the entrance to the old Silk Routes, which was situated not far to the west of Dunhuang.
