When it was first laid out over two thousand years ago, Wuwei was the first garrison established by the Chinese along the Silk Road. Back then, it was called Liangzhou. Since then, it has continued to play an important role in the region, and it’s all laid out after a fashion at the Wuwei Museum. One of the museum’s most important pieces is a steely that was unearthed 200 years ago.
