If you like my mod, please like it on up side, it will be a great encouragement to me.

"The hundred-foot-high Great Wall bars the western sky;Having journeyed for miles and miles, I stop my steed. The endless battlements join proud trees far and nigh;The surrounding walls weigh on clouds flying with speed. Steep Heaven? Mountain stands level with the stronghold;The boundless desert come in view puzzles my eyes. Who says the Eastern Pass is strongest as of old?Looking back, I find only a mole-hill rise." – Lin Zexu, ‘The Westernmost Stronghold’

The pass is located at the narrowest point of the western section of the Hexi Corridor, 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) southwest of the city of Jiayuguan in Gansu. The structure lies between two hills, one of which dominates Jiayuguan Pass. The fortress was built near an oasis that was then on the extreme western edge of China.
A fabulous legend recounts the meticulous planning involved in the construction of the pass. According to legend, when Jiayuguan was being planned, the official in charge asked the designer to estimate the exact number of bricks required and the designer gave him a number (99,999). The official questioned his judgment, asking him if that would be enough, so the designer added one brick. When Jiayuguan was finished, there was one brick left over, which was placed loose on one of the gates where it remains today.
