篇1：嘉峪关关城英语导游词
Dear tourists, now our car is driving on the Badaling Expressway, and we are about to enter the Badaling scenic area. The mountain in front is Jundu mountain, on which the Badaling Great Wall sits. In the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, the ancient people of our country began to build the Great Wall. At that time, the vassals fought for hegemony. In order to protect their territory from invasion, they built the Great Wall one after another on their respective borders, which is called the mutual defense great wall.
The road we passed just now is in the ditch. Guangou is the intersection of Yanshan Mountains and Jundushan mountains. It starts from Nankou town of Changping District in the South and ends at Chengguan of Badaling Great Wall in Yanqing County in the northwest, with a total length of 40 Li. It is the throat of the Central Plains to the Northwest Plateau. In the Ming Dynasty, there were four lines of defense, namely Nankou pass, Juyong Pass, Shangguan pass and Badaling pass. On Diecui mountain in Guangou, there was one of the eight famous Yanjing sceneries in Jin Dynasty: Juyong Diecui, but now the sceneries no longer exist.
Badaling Great Wall is an outstanding representative of the great wall of Ming Dynasty. Because it extends in all directions, it becomes Badaling. You may ask why the Great Wall was built here? In fact, this is mainly because of the important geographical location of Badaling area. It not only guards the Ming mausoleum, but also the northwest gate of the capital.
Badaling Great Wall is the witness of many important events in history, such as empress dowager Xiao's tour, the entrance of emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi's flight to the west, etc. Here's another story to tell: there is a huge stone beside the east gate of Guancheng. It's said that in 1900, the Eight Power Allied forces invaded Beijing. Cixi passed here on her way to escape to the West. She once stood on this stone and looked back at the capital, so this stone is also called Wangjing stone. But now the stone is less prominent.
There is a saying that we all know: not to the Great Wall is not a hero. Just introduced so many landscapes, you must be eager to come to the scenic spot for sightseeing, don't worry, you will become a hero soon. Well, here is the famous Badaling Great Wall. In the distance, there is a magnificent scenery. Looking down, it is Wengcheng, an important part of the Great Wall. It is usually built on the roads with dangerous terrain. The distance between the two gates of Wengcheng is 63.9 meters. The plaque on the west gate is the key to the north gate. I have already said that. The plaque of the east gate is: Juyong Town, which means another important town outside Juyong Pass. Now let's look down to the right. On the south side of dengchengkou, there is a cannon named Shenwei general. It was made in Chongzhen period.

Jiayuguan City is 6 kilometers southwest of Jiayuguan City. It is located in the middle of the narrowest valley of Jiayuguan. The highest terrain is Jiayu mountain. The city walls on both sides of the city pass cross the desert Gobi, 8 kilometers to the north and 7 kilometers to the south, connecting with the first pier in the world. It is dominated by the western end of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty, and has been the first pass in Hexi since ancient times.
Guancheng was built in the fifth year of Hongwu (1372) of Ming Dynasty. It took 168 years (1372-1539) from the beginning to the completion of a complete pass. It is the most dangerous one among more than 1000 passes under the jurisdiction of nine towns along the great wall of Ming Dynasty, and it is still well preserved.
In March 1961, it was listed as the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in China by the State Council. Because of the precipitous terrain and majestic architecture, it is known as “the world's majestic pass” and “even the border lock Yin”.
Jiayuguan is composed of inner city, outer city and moat. It is closely fortified and connected with the Great Wall, forming a military defense system of five li, one flint, ten li, one pier, thirty Li, one fort and one city.
At present, Guancheng is dominated by the inner city, with a perimeter of 640 meters, an area of 25000 square meters, and a height of 10.7 meters. It is rammed with loess, and its west side is covered with brick walls, which is majestic and solid.
There are two gates in the inner city, the east gate is “Guanghua gate”, which means Ziqi rises to the East and Guanghua shines; the west gate is “Rouyuan gate”, which means to keep the western border stable.
There is a three story hilltop building on the platform. The East and West gates are surrounded by an urn, and the west gate is surrounded by a Luocheng, which is connected with the north and south walls of the outer city. There is a “Jiayuguan” gate leading to the outside of the gate, and a Jiayuguan building is built on it.
There are also 14 archery towers, enemy towers, turrets, attics and gate towers on the inner wall of Jiayuguan. There are guerrilla general's mansion, Jingting and Wenchang Pavilion in the inner wall of Jiayuguan. Outside the east gate, there are related temples, archways and theatres.
The whole building is exquisitely arranged and vigorous, echoing the Shanhai Pass, which is “the first pass in the world” thousands of miles away.

In Jiayuguan, there is a legend in praise of ancient craftsmen. It is said that when Jiayuguan was built in the Ming Dynasty, the official in charge gave the project director a difficult problem and asked him to budget materials accurately.
With the help of the craftsmen, the engineering supervisor made accurate calculations. Results when the project was completed, the bricks, tiles, wood and stone were just used up, leaving only one city brick, which was called “the last brick”.
This brick is still on the eaves of the gate tower of Huiji gate (xiwengcheng gate). Tourists will come to see this “last brick” to arouse admiration for the wisdom and wisdom of ancient craftsmen.
Since the construction of Jiayuguan, there have been many wars. From 1515 to 1522, the Manchurian soldiers in Turpan invaded Hexi several times. At that time, Jiayuguan was just a lonely city, so that man su'er's soldiers broke through the city and raided the local people's cattle and sheep.
It wasn't until 1539 that Jiayuguan was built into a complete military defense project. The city of Jiayuguan was locked in the shade while sleeping, and there were bright walls and dark walls. It really became the first pass in the world.
Today, after the repair of Jiayuguan, we can still see the vigorous and dangerous momentum of the frontier. When we climb the building, we can see that the Great Wall is like a dragon floating in the vast sand sea.
Sunny day, or mirage, or plug the scenery, strange scenery, panoramic view.

Hello, everyone. I'm the announcer of Jiayuguan City. It's majestic and magnificent. Here, historical dramas of national wars have been staged, and moving stories of people of all nationalities living in harmony and working together have been spread. The majestic and majestic pass shines in China. The ancient Jiayuguan pass is just like an old man in history. Over the past 600 years, the joys and sorrows of separation and the great changes of vicissitudes are reflected on its ancient green bricks and carved in its heavy earth walls.
Jiayuguan was first built in the fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1372 A.D.) and got its name because it was built on the Jiayu mountain at the West foot of Jiayuguan. It was built nine years earlier than Shanhaiguan, the first pass in the world. The terrain here is very dangerous. In the south is the snow capped Qilian Mountain, and in the north is the rolling Heishan mountain. Between the two mountains, there is only 30 Li. It is the narrowest place in the west of Hexi Corridor, known as “the first pass in Hexi”. The big grass beach in Guanxi, with yellow grass and flat sand, is an ancient battlefield. In Guandong, Jiuquan, an important town of the Silk Road, is close to the south slope of Guandong. There is the famous Valley spring water. The “nine eye spring” is clear in winter and summer. It can be used for drinking and irrigating good farmland all year round. These superior natural conditions and strategic geographical location are the main reasons for the establishment of the pass here. As early as the Han Dynasty, a jade barrier was set up at Shiguan gorge, seven Li north of Guancheng. It was built on the mountain to defend against danger. According to historical records, before the Ming Dynasty, there had always been “no city”.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, in order to strengthen the military defense of Hexi, Feng Sheng, the general of the conquering army, took over Hexi and built a pass here to control the traffic route to the West. According to historical records, Jiayuguan “at the beginning there was water and then there was a pass. It was about building buildings later, building buildings later, and building the Great Wall later. The Great Wall was built and then the pass could be guarded.”. It took more than 160 years for Jiayuguan to become a solid defense project. In the fifth year of Hongwu (1372 A.D.) of Ming Dynasty, the earthen city was first built with a circumference of 220 Zhang and a height of about 2 Zhang, which is now the rammed part of the inner city. At that time, it was only about no buildings.
In the eighth year of Hongye reign of Ming Dynasty (A.D. 148), Li Duancheng, a soldier of Suzhou, presided over the construction of Jiayuguan tower at the main gate of Jiayuguan in xiluocheng. That is to say, Jiayuguan tower was built more than 100 years after the completion of the city. According to historical records, “Li Duancheng built the tower with a magnificent view”. Another 11 years later, that is, the first year of Zhengde reign of Ming Dynasty (A.D From August 1506 to February of the next year, Li Duancheng built Guanghua building and Rouyuan building in the inner city according to the style and specifications of Guan built in the previous year. At the same time, he also built auxiliary buildings such as official hall and warehouse. In 1539, Zhai Luan, the Minister of state, inspected the defense of Hexi. He thought that it was necessary to strengthen the defense of Hexi, so he built a lot of buildings to strengthen Guancheng, built enemy towers and turrets on Guancheng, and built two wings of the great wall and beacon towers on Guannan and Guanbei.
At this point, a large-scale and magnificent ancient gate stands on the Gobi rock. Like a group of mighty soldiers, it stands between the two mountains, stretching out its arms, firmly guarding the throat of the silk road. In 1873, Zuo Zongtang, the then governor of Zhili, Shaanxi Province, was recovering Yili from passing through Jiayuguan at a speed of one hour. Facing the magnificent and powerful city of Guancheng, he wrote a huge plaque of “the most powerful pass in the world” and hung it on the floor of Jiayuguan, adding a bit of majesty and grandeur to the pass. Lin Zexu, a patriotic general demoted to Yili for banning smoking in the late Qing Dynasty, wrote a famous poem “Ode to Jiayuguan” when he passed by Jiayuguan on October 11, 1842
Close the gate strictly, and March ten thousand miles to horseshoe.
Feige made even Qin tree straight, Zongyuan oblique pressure Longyun low.
Tianshan Mountain is steep and stands on one's shoulders, and the vast sea attracts people.
Who blocked the letter for ever? You can see only 19 mud.
Comrade Mao Zedong, who loved ancient poetry and calligraphy all his life, once wrote this famous poem by hand.
The layout of Xiongguan city is very reasonable, and its architecture is also very proper, which is suitable for the needs of war defense. There are three city corridors and multiple lines of defense in the city. There are cities inside the city and moats outside the city, which form a situation of keeping the city together. If the enemy invades, it can ensure that there is no one.
Since Jiayuguan was built more than 600 years ago, due to wind and rain erosion, large-scale repair has been carried out. Especially in 1986, Jiayuguan municipal Party committee and municipal government responded to Comrade Deng Xiaoping's great call of “love China and build the Great Wall”, and advocated people from all walks of life to donate money to raise funds to restore Guancheng. At that time, according to the instructions of Yang lie and other comrades of the State Administration of cultural relics, Jiayuguan “repaired the old as the old and restored the original appearance”. After many efforts, Jiayuguan tower finally stood on the magnificent city of Guancheng. Standing on the tower of Jiayuguan, looking out of the pass, there were many feelings about the vicissitudes of the ancient Silk Road due to the erosion of time. Looking back, there was such a couplet recording the vicissitudes of Guan Lou's history:
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the period of the Republic of China, the ruins were destroyed in the stormy years
Love China's slender city construction to restore its original appearance in the era of Shengping and see the spring of China again.
What's more, Luo Zhewen, an expert in the Great Wall studies, also wrote a lot of poems
Jiayu mountain from the coal city, wall high stand gas Xiaosen
Who is the master of the world today.
篇5：嘉峪关关城英语导游词
Dear tourists, now our car is driving on the Badaling Expressway, and we are about to enter the Badaling scenic area.
The mountain in front is Jundu mountain, on which the Badaling Great Wall sits. In the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, the ancient people of our country began to build the Great Wall. At that time, the vassals fought for hegemony. In order to protect their territory from invasion, they built the Great Wall one after another on their respective borders, which is called the mutual defense great wall.
In China, there were three peaks of building the Great Wall, namely, the Qin Great Wall, the Han great wall and the Ming Great Wall. In 221 BC, the first emperor of Qin unified the Central Plains and established the Qin Dynasty. In order to strengthen the rule and defend against the invasion of northern nomads, he sent General Meng Tian 300000 and a lot of labor to connect and expand the great wall of Yan, Zhao and Qin in the north. It took nine years to build a great wall stretching from Lintao in the west to Liaodong in the East, which is the first great wall in Chinese history the Great Wall.
In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty built a great wall of nearly 0 Li in order to strengthen the defense, “not called Hu Ma Du Yin Mountain”, which also protected the newly developed silk road. The great wall of the Han Dynasty was a forward position and defense line of the great wall of the Qin Dynasty. It started in the West and reached Liaodong in the East, which was the longest Dynasty in the history of China.
The great wall of Ming Dynasty is the highest peak of the Great Wall Construction in the history of China. The great engineering and the fine technology are unique. In the process of unifying the whole country and establishing the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted the suggestion of “building walls high, accumulating grain widely and being king slowly”. At that time, although the Yuan Dynasty had perished, it still maintained a relatively complete military strength, coupled with the continuous invasion of the rising Nuzhen people, so it began to build the Great Wall.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Great Wall was built 18 times on a large scale. It was not completed until the end of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Great Wall, with a total length of 6350 km, starts from Hushan on the side of Yalu River in Dandong, Liaoning Province in the East and ends at Jiayuguan, Gansu Province in the West. The great wall of Ming Dynasty has three characteristics: complete construction, perfect management and strict layout. The Badaling Great Wall we see today is a part of the Ming Great Wall. Although the original purpose of the Great Wall in ancient China was defense, it also played other roles. m. LVyougl.com
The first is the military role. The second is the economic role. It not only promotes the development of farming and the economic development of Northern Xinjiang, but also promotes the people of the Central Plains to live and work in peace and contentment. The third is to promote the integration of all ethnic groups. In addition, it protects communications and promotes opening up.
It is worth mentioning that in ancient China, there were not only three experiences of building the Great Wall. According to statistics, more than 20 vassal states and feudal dynasties had built the Great Wall in the past two thousand years. Some people have made rough calculations. If the Great Wall is rebuilt into a big wall with a height of 5 meters and a thickness of 1 meter, there will be more than 10 circles around the earth. Famous Folklore: the Great Wall was also built on the Great Wall.
Today, after several renovations, the Great Wall has basically restored its former appearance. In 1987, it was listed in the world cultural heritage list by UNESCO. Moreover, it is also one of the six regions in the world, with a total length of 10 kilometers. 80000 Li.
The road we passed just now is in the ditch. Guangou is the intersection of Yanshan Mountains and Jundushan mountains. It starts from Nankou town of Changping District in the South and ends at Chengguan of Badaling Great Wall in Yanqing County in the northwest, with a total length of 40 Li. It is the throat of the Central Plains to the Northwest Plateau. In the Ming Dynasty, there were four lines of defense, namely Nankou pass, Juyong Pass, Shangguan pass and Badaling pass. On Diecui mountain in Guangou, there was one of the eight famous Yanjing sceneries in Jin Dynasty: Juyong Diecui, but now the sceneries no longer exist.
The railway we saw just now is the first one designed and built by Chinese people, the Beijing Zhangjiakou Railway designed by Zhan Tianyou. Because the terrain of Badaling area is complex and there are many technical difficulties, the herringbone railway designed by Zhan Tianyou has successfully solved the problem that the car can't climb and turn directly, and the 1091 meter long tunnel has also made people at home and abroad admire.
Now the bronze statue set up in Qinglongqiao railway station is Zhan Tianyou's, as well as the monument. Guangou is famous for Juyong Pass. We can see that the magnificent building in front of it is Juyong Pass. Its name originated from the Qin Dynasty. It got its name because the first emperor of Qin migrated “Yongtu” to live here. In Guannei, there is a famous white marble platform, which is Yuntai. It was a street crossing Pagoda in Yuan Dynasty. There were three Tibetan pagodas on it, which were destroyed in the earthquake.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Tai'an temple was built in the original place, but it was destroyed in the Kangxi period, leaving only the plinth and pillar that we see now. The cloud platform covers an area of 310 square meters. On the ticket door under the platform are relief sculptures of lions, elephants, four elephants and golden winged birds, representing the mounts of five Buddhas and five Buddhas of Tantric Buddhism, as well as the relief sculptures of the eight Dharma protectors of Tianlong. On the inner wall, there are relief carvings of four heavenly kings and the design of divine beasts. On the top of the ticket, there are Mandala designs. Among the flowers, there are 2215 Buddha statues.
There are also six kinds of inscriptions of the Dharma Sutra and the story of the merits and virtues of building pagodas, which are fine works of art of the Yuan Dynasty and have high artistic value.
Badaling Great Wall is an outstanding representative of the great wall of Ming Dynasty. Because it extends in all directions, it becomes Badaling. You may ask why the Great Wall was built here? In fact, this is mainly because of the important geographical location of Badaling area. It not only guards the Ming mausoleum, but also the northwest gate of the capital.
Badaling Great Wall is the witness of many important events in history, such as empress dowager Xiao's tour, the entrance of emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi's flight to the west, etc.
Here's another story to tell: there is a huge stone beside the east gate of Guancheng. It's said that in 1900, the Eight Power Allied forces invaded Beijing. Cixi passed here on her way to escape to the West. She once stood on this stone and looked back at the capital, so this stone is also called Wangjing stone. But now the stone is less prominent.
There is a saying that we all know: not to the Great Wall is not a hero. Just introduced so many landscapes, you must be eager to come to the scenic spot for sightseeing, don't worry, you will become a hero soon. Well, here is the famous Badaling Great Wall. In the distance, there is a magnificent scenery. Looking down, it is Wengcheng, an important part of the Great Wall. It is usually built on the roads with dangerous terrain.
The distance between the two gates of Wengcheng is 63.9 meters. The plaque on the west gate is the key to the north gate. I have already said that. The plaque of the east gate is: Juyong Town, which means another important town outside Juyong Pass. Now let's look down to the right. On the south side of dengchengkou, there is a cannon named Shenwei general. It was made in Chongzhen period.
Badaling Great Wall is composed of three platforms and two walls. What is three platforms and two walls? Now let me explain to you that the three platforms are city platform and enemy platform. The structure of city platform is very simple, just a place for garrison officers and soldiers to stay away from the wind and cold.
The structure of the enemy platform is relatively complicated. It is divided into two layers. The lower layer is composed of fields, wells, loops and other shapes. The upper layer has crenels and observation holes for observing military information and archery. Therefore, it also has the function of defending the enemy.
Next came the beacon tower, also known as beacon, wolf Yantai. It is an independent building not connected with the Great Wall. Once the enemy invades, it will light a beacon to inform the military. The ancients said that the smoke lit in the daytime is called beacon, and the smoke lit in the evening is called flint.
In the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between the beacon fire and the enemy was strictly regulated: more than 100 enemies, one smoke and one gun; five white people, two smoke and two guns; more than 1000 people, three smoke and three guns; more than 5000 people, four smoke and four guns; more than 10000 people, five smoke and five guns. In this way, the military information at the border can be quickly transmitted to the imperial city.
Having said that, let's talk about the two walls. The high wall on the outside of the Great Wall is called Diqiang, which has crenels to defend the enemy. The inner side less than one meter high is called the parapet, also known as the Yu wall.
In the beginning, there was no parapet inside the Great Wall, but people often fell off the cliff, so this wall was built. At the base of the wall of the Great Wall, there is a small ditch not far away. On rainy days, the water is drained from the spout to prevent water from scouring the wall.
And the wall of the Great Wall is made of stone blocks inside, with bricks on the outside and stone slabs on the top, which makes the building very firm!
篇6：嘉峪关关城导游词介绍
基本介绍
嘉峪关是明代万里长城的西端起点，是明代长城沿线建造规模最为壮观，保存嘉峪关程度最为完好的一座古代军事城堡，是明朝及其后期各代，长城沿线的重要军事要塞，素有“中外钜防”、“河西第一隘口”之称。 嘉峪关，万里长城的西部终点，地处甘肃省河西走廊中部，嘉峪关市西南隅祁连山脉嘉峪山 嘉峪关
地理位置
嘉峪关位于甘肃省河西走廊的西端东经98°17′、北纬39°47′，嘉峪关位于甘肃嘉峪关市向西5公里处，是明长城西端的第一重关，也是古代“丝绸之路”的交通要冲。嘉峪关市区西南6公里处，位于嘉峪关最狭窄的山谷中部,地势最高的嘉峪山上，城关两翼的城墙横穿沙漠戈壁，向北8公里连黑山悬壁长城，向南7公里，接天下第一墩，是明代万里长城西端主宰，自古为河西第一隘口。嘉峪关关城，位于嘉峪关最狭窄的山谷中部，地势最高的嘉峪山上，城关两翼的城墙横穿沙漠戈壁。嘉峪关以地势险要，巍峨壮观著称于世，被称为“天下第一雄关”。 与万里之外的“天下第一关”——山海关遥相呼应，闻名天下。
建筑群体
嘉峪关现在关城以内城为主，周长640米，面积2.5万平方米，城高10.7米，以黄土夯筑而成，西侧以嘉峪关图片99999块砖包墙。东西城垣开门，东为光化门，西为柔远门。均筑瓮城。嘉峪关内城墙上还建有箭楼、敌楼、角楼、阁楼、闸门楼共十四座，是长城众多关城中保存最为完整的一座。 这里还有中国第一个全面、系统的展现长城文化的专题博物馆——长城博物馆。
历史沿革
嘉峪关位于河西走廊中西结合部(中部偏西)，距今已有631年的历史。它比山海关早建九年。明初，宋国公、征虏大将军冯胜在班师凯旋途中，选址在河西走廊中部，东连酒泉、西接嘉峪关玉门、背靠黑山、南临祁连的咽喉要地——嘉峪塬西麓建关。关城始建于明洪武五年(公元1372年)，历时168年，于公元1540年建成完工。正如史料《秦边纪略》所记：“初有水而后置关，有关而后建楼，有楼而后筑长城，长城筑而后可守也”。
嘉峪关关城布局合理，建筑得法。关城有三重城郭，多道防线，城内有城，城外有壕，形成重城并守之势。它由：内城、瓮城、罗城、城壕及三座三层三檐歇山顶式高台楼阁建筑和城壕、长城峰台等组成。内城是关城的主体和中心，其周长640米，面积2.5万平方米。内城东西二门外，都有瓮城回护，面积各有500余平方米。瓮城门均向南开，西瓮城西面，筑有罗城，罗城城墙正中面西设关门，门楣上题“嘉峪关”三字。关城内现有的建筑主要有游击将军府、官井、关帝庙、戏台和文昌阁。
防御体系
嘉峪关关城依山傍水，扼守南北宽约15公里的峡谷地带，该峡谷南部的讨赖河谷，又构成关防的天然屏障。嘉峪关附近烽燧、墩台纵横交错，关城东、西、南、北、东北各路共有墩台66座。嘉峪关地势天成，攻防兼备，与附近的长城、城台、城壕、烽燧等设施构成了严密的军事防御体系，又被誉为“天下第一雄关”。
建筑结构
麓，因山而名。明洪武五年(1372)修筑万里长城时置。当时明征虏大将军冯胜看中嘉峪山西北麓的险要地势，选为河西第一隘口，开始筑城设关，以后经历一百多年时间扩建，才形成一嘉峪关个比较完整的防御体系。明弘治年间，为防吐鲁番东侵，曾进行重修。这关雄伟壮观，号称“天下第一雄关”。
万里长城沿线分布着许多关隘，其中规模最大的有两座：一座是东端的山海关，另一座就是西端的嘉峪关，而后者经前者犹有过之，所以嘉峪关是长城上的最大关隘，也是中国规模最大的关隘。但嘉峪关初建时不过是一座6米高的土城，占地2500平方米。而现存的关城总面积33.500余平方米，比原来的大数倍。它由外城、内城和瓮城组合而成，关城周长733米，就中内城周长640米，面积为原先的大小。内城西宽东窄，略呈梯形，城高9米，东西开“光化门”和“柔远门”两门。
门外各筑有瓮城，城楼对称，三层三檐五间式，周围有廊，单檐歇山顶，高17米。城四隅有角楼、南、北墙中段有敌楼，一层三间式带前廊。两门内北侧有马道达城顶。关城正中有一官井，旧有亭，今已废。西门外套筑一道凸形城墙，构成一个罗城，这就是外城。外城比内城高2.7米。外城正中大门额刻“嘉峪关”三个大字。门顶原有城楼，与东西二楼形制相同，三楼东西成一线，上悬“天下第一雄关”匾额。1924年城楼被毁。西面罗城砖砌，东、南、北有土筑围墙，连接长城。城外有城，迭门重城，成并守之势。东瓮城外有文昌阁、关帝庙、戏楼，城内靠北有游击衙门府一座，都是清代建筑。新中国成立后，关城曾多次维修加固，至今保存完好。
历史价值
嘉峪关所在地是甘肃省西部的河西走廊最西一处隘口(河西走廊继续向西延伸)。甘肃西部已属于荒漠地区，河西走廊夹于巍峨的祁连山和北山(包括马鬃山、合黎山和龙首山)之间，东西长达1000公里左右。一条古道穿行于祁连山麓的戈壁和冲积平原上，古代“丝绸之路”即此。道路本艰险，到了嘉峪山隘口处，狭谷穿山，危坡逼道，就更险厄。嘉峪关踞此，形势非常险要。东通古肃州(今酒泉)，西有安西。
这条古道是古都长安和西域联系的纽带。古代西域，初时仅指天山以南的南部和东部，有许多在绿洲上发展的“城邦”，对内地汉族政权时附时叛。到明代，东部的吐鲁番日渐强大，常引兵进犯河西走廊各城，嘉峪山隘口为必经之地。自建成嘉峪关后，这关便为西部国防重地，对保障河西地区的安全起着重要作用。
明代，政府军和吐鲁番兵曾数次在嘉峪关作战。嘉峪关矗立于大漠边缘，显得雄壮非凡。荒漠地区是怕缺水，嘉峪关却城中有井，山上有泉，用水不患匮乏。嘉峪关的环境又很吸引人。广阔的关城，横卧戈壁滩上，两侧城墙与山相连。巍峨朱色的城楼昂然欲飞，衬托着祁连山如玉的雪峰，美丽如画。登城楼远望，万里长城似龙游于戈壁滩瀚海间，天晴之日，或可见海市蜃楼。
城下戈壁滩上骆驼队的浑厚的悠扬的铃声，使人想起古代“丝稠之路”上的商队和旅行者，令人神驰!清代林则徐因禁烟获罪，被贬，路经嘉峪关，见这关如此雄伟，有诗赞道：“严关百尺界天西，万里征人驻马蹄。飞阁遥连秦树直，了垣斜压陇云低。天山巉削摩肩立，瀚海苍茫入望迷。谁道崤函千古险，回看见只见一丸泥。”极言这关的威严和雄伟壮丽。
又云：“除是卢龙山海险，东南谁比此关雄。”指出这关真乃“天下第一雄关”。说来令人诧异，据说当年建这关时，匠师计算用料特别精确，最后建成时竟只剩下一块砖。这是建筑工程上的绝招。现在这块砖还存放在西瓮城门楼的后楼台上，供人观摩。这座雄关和东部的山海关一样，都为古代建筑工程的光辉点，具有重要的历史文物价值，为中国国家重点文物保护单位。
历史渊源
嘉峪关，是明代万里长城的西端起点，是明代长城沿线建造规模最为壮观嘉峪关，保存程度最为完好的一座古代军事城堡，是明朝及其后期各代，长城沿线的重要军事要塞，素有“中外钜防”、“河西第一隘口”之称。嘉峪关位于河西走廊中西结合部(中部偏西)，距今已有631年的历史。它比山海关早建九年。明初，宋国公、征虏大将军冯胜在班师凯旋途中，选址在河西走廊中部，东连酒泉、西接玉门、背靠黑山、南临祁连的咽喉要地——嘉峪塬西麓建关。 嘉峪关城始建于明洪武五年(公元1372年)，历时168年，于公元1540年建成完工。正如史料《秦边纪略》所记：“初有水而后置关，有关而后建楼，有楼而后筑长城，长城筑而后可守也”。嘉峪关关城布局合理，建筑得法。关城有三重城郭，多道防线，城内有城，城外有壕，形成重城并守之势。
它由：内城、瓮城、罗城、城壕及三座三层三檐歇山顶式高台楼阁建筑和城壕、长城峰台等组成。内城是关城的主体和中心，其周长640米，面积2.5万平方米。嘉峪关内城东西二门外，都有瓮城回护，面积各有500余平方米。瓮城门均向南开，西瓮城西面，筑有罗城，罗城城墙正中面西设关门，门楣上题“嘉峪关”三字。关城内现有的建筑主要有游击将军府、官井、关帝庙、戏台和文昌阁。 嘉峪关关城依山傍水，扼守南北宽约15公里的峡谷地带，该峡谷南部的讨赖河谷，又构成关防的天然屏障。嘉峪关附近烽燧、墩台纵横交错，关城东、西、南、北、东北各路共有墩台66座。嘉峪关地势天成，攻防兼备，与附近的长城、城台、城壕、烽燧等设施构成了严密的军事防御体系，又被誉为“天下第一雄关”。
文化遗产
长城文化遗产“万里长城——嘉峪关”：1987年被联合国教科文组织列入嘉峪关《世界文化遗产地名录》，1961年被国务院公布为第一批全国重点文物保护单位。嘉峪关是明代万里长城的西端起点，也是明代万里长城沿线保存最为完好、规模最为壮观的古代军事城堡，有“天下第一雄关”之美誉。“万里长城——嘉峪关”初建于明洪武五年 嘉峪关 (公元1372年)，由内城、外城、罗城、瓮城、城壕和南北两翼长城组成。
嘉峪关长城由西长城、东长城和北长城三部分组成，全长约60公里。长城内外城台、墩台、堡城星罗棋布，共同构成了嘉峪关完整的军事防御体系。 嘉峪关游击将军府：也称游击衙门，初建于明隆庆年间，是明清两代镇守嘉峪关的游击处理军机政务的场所。嘉峪关游击将军府陈列分为两个部分。前院以议事厅为中心，着重展示古代游击将军及文武官员指挥御敌、签发关文等情景。后院是游击将军及家眷生活的场所，生动形象地表现了游击将军及其眷属的生活场面。
陈列形式既朴实又具有一定的观赏性、趣味性。 长城第一墩：古称讨赖河墩。公元1539年由肃州兵备道李涵监筑，它是明代万嘉峪关里长城自西向东的第一座墩台，是明代长城的西端起点。墩台北距关城7.5公里，矗立于讨赖河边近56米高的悬崖边上，可谓：“天下第一险墩”。依托古墩台兴建的文物景区，东临酒泉，西连荒漠，北依嘉峪，南望祁连。景区包括讨赖河墩、地下谷、观景平台、滑索、吊桥、“醉卧沙场”雕塑群、“中华龙林”等功能区。景区以长城文化和丝绸之路文化为，以戈壁风光和西北民俗风情为基础，是一处观光、探险、休闲、娱乐的好去处。
※悬壁长城：明嘉靖十八年(公元1539年)由肃州兵备道李涵监筑，此段长城从关城东闸门边的角墩起向北延伸至黑山山腰，全长7.5公里。山腰长城约750米，陡峭直长，气势雄伟，垂若悬臂，故有“西部八达岭”之称。 古代岩画石关峡是嘉峪关古代丝绸之路的重要通道，这里是中国古代丝绸古道兴亡更替的见证。石关峡内的黑山岩画是中国西北地区的摩崖浅石刻画，其时代为战国，它是中国北方地区时嘉峪关代最早、距离城市最近的岩画，是甘肃省人民政府公布的省级文物保护单位，也是嘉峪关的一处重要的文物古迹。岩画主要分布在西北距嘉峪关市14公里处的黑山之中，共有岩画150余幅。岩画内容丰富，题材广泛，有动物、狩猎、舞蹈、操练、庙宇、古文字等，黑山岩画对于研究西北地区远古社会的民族、宗教、生态、自然环境等方面具有十分重要的历史价值，是中国西部地区岩画的代表之一。
古墓葬文化“果园——新城魏晋墓群”是中国国务院公布的中国第五批重点文物保护单位。嘉峪关魏晋砖壁画墓是“果园——新城魏晋墓群”的一部分，位于嘉峪关市区东约18公里的新城镇，在这里分布着魏晋时期的古墓葬千余座，素有“地下画廊”之称。古墓葬出土的660余幅彩绘砖壁画，真实描绘了中国魏晋时期河西走廊的政治、经济、文化、军事等诸方面的状况，其内容包括牧畜、农耕、兵屯、狩猎、营垒、出行、驿传、宴乐、舞蹈等。这些砖壁画是研究魏晋时期西北地区的政治、经济、文化、民族、民俗等的实物资料。绘画笔法简练，画技高超，其绘画内容在美术领域填补了中国魏晋时期绘画史上的空白。
民间传说
嘉峪关的修建，花费了大量人力物力，在古时简陋的建筑条件下，能建起如此伟的关城，是很不简单的，但正因为如此，才演绎出一段段动人的传说。 嘉峪关 定城砖：指放置在嘉峪关西瓮城门楼后檐台上的一块砖。相传明正德年间，有一位名叫易开占的修关工匠，精通九九算法，所有建筑，只要经他计算，用工用料十分准确和节省。监督修关的监事管不信，要他计算嘉峪关用砖数量，易开占经过详细计算后说：“需要九万九千九百九十九块砖。”监事管依言发砖，并说：“如果多出一块或少一块，都要砍掉你的头，罚众工匠劳役三年。”竣工后，只剩下一块砖，放置在西瓮城门楼后檐台上。监事管发觉后大喜，正想借此克扣易开占和众工匠的工钱，哪知易开占不慌不忙的说：“那块砖是神仙所放，是定城砖，如果搬动，城楼便会塌掉。”监事管一听，不敢再追究。
这块砖就一直放在原地，此砖仍保留在嘉峪关城楼之上。 冰道运石：当初，修建嘉峪关城时，需要成千上万块长2米、宽0.5米、厚0.3米的石条工匠们在黑山将石条凿好后，却人抬不起，车拉不动，且山高路远，无法运输。大伙儿边凿石条边发愁，眼看隆冬季节就要到了，石条还没有从山里运出一块，若要耽误工期，没有工钱是小，这脑袋可就难保了。
大家正在长嘘短叹，这时，忽然山顶一声闷雷，从白云中飘下一幅锦绸，众工匠赶紧接住，只见上面若隐若现有几行字，大家看后恍然大悟，按其行事。等到冬季到来后，众人从山上往关城修一条路，在路面上泼水，让其结成一条冰道，然后把石条放在冰道上滑行运输，结果非常顺利的把石条运到了嘉峪关城下，不但没有延误工期，反而节省了不少工期。
众工匠为了感谢上苍的护佑，在关城附近修建庙宇，供奉神位，并成为工匠出师后必须参拜的地方。 山羊驮砖：嘉峪关城，城墙高9米，还要在城墙之上修建数十座大小不同的楼阁和众多的垛墙，用砖数量之大是非常惊人的，当时，施工条件很差，没有吊运设备，全靠人工搬运。而当时修关城所用的砖，都是在40里以外的地方烧制而成。砖烧好后，用牛车拉到关城之下，再用人工往上背。由于城高，唯 嘉峪关 一能上下的马道坡度大，上下很困难，尽管派了许多人往城墙上背砖，个个累得要死，但背上去的砖却仍然供不应求，工程进展受到了严重影响。一天，一个放羊的孩子来到这里放羊玩耍，看到这个情景，灵机一动，解下腰带，两头各捆上一块砖，搭在山羊身上，然后，用手拍一下羊背，身子轻巧的山羊，驮着砖一溜小跑就爬上了城墙。人们看了又惊又喜，纷纷仿效，大量的砖头很快就运上了城墙。
击石燕鸣：相传，古时有一对燕子筑巢于嘉峪关柔远门内。一日清早，两燕飞出关，日暮时，雌燕先飞回来，等到雄燕飞回，关门已闭，不能入关，遂悲鸣触墙而死，为此雌燕悲痛欲绝，不时发出“啾啾”燕鸣声，一直悲鸣到死。死后其灵不散，每到有人以石击墙，就发出“啾啾”燕鸣声，向人倾诉。古时，人们把在嘉峪关内能听到燕鸣声视为吉祥之声，将军出关征战时，夫人就击墙祈祝，后来发展到将士出关前，带着眷属子女，一起到墙角击墙祈祝，以至于形成一种风俗。
相关景点
戏台 戏台是清乾隆五十七年(公元1792年)嘉峪关游击将军袋什衣主持修建，系当时守城官兵、城内居民及过往商旅的娱乐场所。其形制为典型的中国传统古典戏台。由木制屏风把前后台分隔开，屏风正中央绘制八幅人物图，是人们熟知的“八仙”内容。顶部为中国传统图案“八卦图”，“八卦图”是中国古代思想文化与科学的综合反映。
两侧是一组风情壁画，内容是寺庙的和尚及尼姑庵的尼姑及尼姑豢养的尤物。这些绘画内容在其它戏台上是非常少见的。戏台两侧书写有对联：“离合悲欢演往事，愚贤忠佞认当场”。对联高度概括了古往今来人间世事的演义变化及戏曲演出场所的功能作用。 文昌阁 文昌阁，始建于明代，重建于清道光二年(公元1822年)。楼阁为两层两檐歇山顶式建筑，底层两边为单间铺房，四周立红漆明柱18根，形成回廊。内为面宽三间、进深二间的官厅。
四面装有花格门窗，上部绘制山水人物彩画80余幅。此阁在明清时为文人墨客会友、吟诗作画、读书的场所。到了清代末年成为文官办公的地方。 “天下雄关”碑 关西门外百余米处，有清代刊立的“天下雄关”石碑。清嘉庆十四年(1809)肃镇总兵李廷臣视察嘉峪关防务时，见这里南有祁连雪山，北有黑山，关势雄伟，便写下“天下雄关”四字并勒石为碑。
给后人留下了永恒的纪念。 柔远门 内城西门，门额刻“柔远”二字，意思是明王朝对边陲(关外)各游牧民族实行“怀柔”政策，安抚边远地区，以实现长治久安的治国方略。 内城 内城墙高9米，加垛墙1.7米，总高10.7米。6米以下为黄土夯筑，6米以上用土坯加筑。历经六百多年，墙体虽有剥落，但大部份仍然完整牢固。修筑城墙用的黄土，都是经过认真筛选和加工制作的，首先将选好的黄土放在青石板上，让烈日烤晒，将草籽晒死。
嘉峪北段长城下出土的“长城工牌”，上面详细记载了当时修长城的分工情况。“长城工牌”现陈列在嘉峪关长城博物馆内，“工牌”为石质，正面刻：“弟(第)一工起”，背面刻有“蔡止梅起”，下面刻有修长城各工程队队长的名字。修筑工程结束后，要进行严格的验收：在距城墙一定距离内，用箭射墙，如果箭头射不进去，证明城墙坚固合格;如若箭头射入墙体，则证明工程不合格，要进行返工重建。如此严格的长城工程管理制度，保证了长城工程的质量。 罗城和箭楼 罗城初建于明弘治八年(1495年)，由肃州兵备道李端澄主持修建。“罗城”是应敌的正面，“凸”字形城墙全部用砖包砌，非常坚固。“罗城”南北两端建有“箭楼”，是观望关西、关南、关北烽火的设施。两端与外城墙相接，外城墙又与关城南北的长城相联。 角楼和敌楼 内城四角有角楼，也叫“戍楼”，形如碉堡，是守城士兵值勤放哨的地方。南北城墙建有敌楼，是放置兵器的地方。站在这里回望，“光化楼”、“柔远楼”及“嘉峪关楼”三座高大建筑，同在一条中轴线上。
这种“过洞式城门”及高台楼阁建筑形式，是中国几千年建筑历史及建筑形式的延续发展。 嘉峪关 光化门 内城东门，门额上刻“光化门”三字，面向东方，表示旭日东升，瑞气普照大地。门洞由自黑山开采的石条铺成。 光化楼 建于明正德元年(公元15)，由时任肃州兵备副宪李端澄主持修建。“光化楼”为三层三檐歇山顶式结构，楼高17米。精雕细刻，五彩装成。楼阁第一层为砖木结构，第二、三层是木结构榫卯咬合而成。虽然经历了近五百年的风风雨雨及地震等自然灾害，但它仍巍然屹立于关城之上，尽显中国古代建筑艺术的高超和精妙。 关帝庙 明末清初从内城迁到现处。庙内原有大殿一座，陪殿两座，另有刀房、过厅、马房和牌楼。总面积720平方米。 关帝庙曾多次扩建，最后一次重修是嘉峪关游击将军熊敏谦主持的。
由嘉峪关关城文管所自筹资金70万元对关帝庙进行了重新修复，对牌楼进行了彩绘，使关帝庙恢复了明清时的风采。 东瓮城和西瓮城 嘉峪关东西两瓮城布局森严，东瓮城门楼眉额刻“朝宗”两字，表示过往朝廷官员虽远行“极边”，但仍不忘朝廷和君王。与此相对的“西瓮城”，门额刻“会极”二字。意即从西域来的诸侯，仕官，商旅，亲善友好地在这里相会，从这里经过，向中原王朝朝贡。西瓮城也劈门南向，不与内城门直通，使关城更加肃穆幽深，成为内城的一道防线。
游击将军府 嘉峪关游击将军府，也称游击衙门，初建于明隆庆年间，后来成为明清两代镇守嘉峪关的游击将军处理军机政务的场所。现在的建筑是1987年在原建筑的基础上恢复修建的，为两院三厅四合院式，占地面积为1755平方米，建筑面积808平方米。 在嘉峪关古代军事史上，游击将军府不但是嘉峪关长城防御体系的指挥中心，而且是朝廷统治地方、检查商旅使者往来、联系西域和中亚及各少数民族的枢纽机关。 游击将军府复原陈列以历史史料为依据，以现有建筑为框架，以超级写实主义雕塑(高分子仿真雕塑)为主要形式，深入细致地展现了嘉峪关游击将军的生活史迹。
嘉峪关游击将军府陈列分为两个部分。前院以议事厅为中心，着重展示古代游击将军及文武官员指挥御敌、签发关文等情景。后院是游击将军及家眷生活的场所，生动形象地表现了游击将军及其家眷的生活场面。陈列从人物生活入手，内容严谨、科学、准确，高分子仿真人物栩栩如生，使人有身临其境之感。陈列形式既朴实又具有一定的观赏性、趣味性，使其成为参观、游览嘉峪关的一处亮点。 嘉峪关关城 嘉峪关，是明代万里长城的西端起点，是明代长城沿线建造规模最为壮观，保存程度最为完好的一座古代军事城堡，是明朝及其后期各代，长城沿线的重要军事要塞，素有“中外钜防”、“河西第一隘口”之称。 嘉峪关位于河西走廊中西结合部(中部偏西)，距今已有631年的历史
。它比山海关早建九年。明初，宋国公、征虏大将军冯胜在班师凯旋途中，选址在河西走廊中部，东连酒泉、西接玉门、背靠黑山、南临祁连的咽喉要地——嘉峪塬西麓建关。关城始建于明洪武五年(公元1372年)，历时168年，于公元1540年建成完工。正如史料《秦边纪略》所记：“初有水而后置关，有关而后建楼，有楼而后筑长城，长城筑而后可守也”。
嘉峪关关城布局合理，建筑得法。关城有三重城郭，多道防线，城内有城，城外有壕，形成重城并守之势。它由：内城、瓮城、罗城、城壕及三座三层三檐歇山顶式高台楼阁建筑和城壕、长城峰台等组成。内城是关城的主体和中心，其周长640米，面积2.5万平方米。内城东西二门外，都有瓮城回护，面积各有500余平方米。
瓮城门均向南开，西瓮城西面，筑有罗城，罗城城墙正中面西设关门，门楣上题“嘉峪关”三字。关城内现有的建筑主要有游击将军府、官井、关帝庙、戏台和文昌阁。 嘉峪关关城依山傍水，扼守南北宽约15公里的峡谷地带，该峡谷南部的讨赖河谷，又构成关防的天然屏障。嘉峪关附近烽燧、墩台纵横交错，关城东、西、南、北、东北各路共有墩台66座。
嘉峪关地势天成，攻防兼备，与附近的长城、城台、城壕、烽燧等设施构成了严密的军事防御体系，又被誉为“天下第一雄关”。 长城第一墩 长城第一墩：即讨赖河墩。公元1539年由肃州兵备道李涵监筑，它是明代万里长城从西向东的第一座墩台，是明代长城的西端起点，是嘉峪关长城防御体系的重要组成部分。北距关城7.5公里，墩台矗立于讨赖河边近80米高的悬崖之上，可谓：“天下第一险墩矣”。 明代，嘉峪关管辖着“腹里、沿边、境外墩台三十九座”。关内墩台林立，纵横交织，相互了望，互通情报。长城第一墩，是关南最主要的一座墩台，担负着传递关南及祁连山诸口军事信息的任务。
设有坞、驿马、驿驼、食宿、积薪等物，配备有一定数量的守兵。长城第一墩是嘉峪关军事防务的重要据点，这里曾经伴随着雄伟壮观的嘉峪关演绎过许多神奇的故事，诗曰：长城第一墩“清流讨赖临危壁，大岭祁连断战氛。铠甲冰河闻拆斗，旌旗旭日舞鹏鲲”。 长城第一墩景区自然景致壮观，东临酒泉，西连荒漠，北依嘉峪，南望祁连。讨赖河水滔滔东去，朝阳里，宛若银练飞舞在戈壁之上;夕阳下，又如飞龙游走于山涧之中。
极目南眺，山峰终年洁白，衬映着蓝色天空，更觉清新如画。“四时大雪，千古不消，凝华积素，争奇献秀，氤氲郁葱，凌空万仞，望之如堆琼垒玉”。晨曦初起，彩霞横抹天空，天高野阔，千岭万壑竞披红装，婀娜多姿。雨后，祁连山中长云如练，缠绕山腰，或化作各种离奇物形，或变作铁马甲兵;或雨过天晴，彩虹横挂山川。正所谓：“余收远岫和云湿，风度疏林带舞飘”。 长城第一墩旅游景区面积约3.22平方公里。景区包括长城第一墩、综合服务区、讨赖河滑索、讨赖客栈、天险吊桥、“醉卧沙场”雕塑群、“中华龙林”等内容。其中下沉式综合服务区有贵宾接待室、游客服务中心、饮吧、观景平台、滑索、旅游纪念品商店等设施。 嘉峪关 景区以长城文化和丝绸之路文化为，以戈壁风光和西北民俗风情为基础，是一处观光、探险、休闲、娱乐、怀古游学的好去处。
篇7：嘉峪关关城导游词介绍
大家好、我是嘉峪关关城讲解员×××，巍巍雄关耀中华。这里，曾上演过一幕幕民族征战的历史话剧;这里，流传过一篇篇各民族人民和睦相处，团结奋斗的动人故事。巍巍雄关耀中华，古老的嘉峪关，就象一位历史老人，六百多年来，离合悲欢的往事，沧海桑田的巨变，映在它古老的青砖上，刻在它厚重的土墙里。
嘉峪关，始建于明洪武五年(公元1372年)，因建在嘉峪关西麓的嘉峪山上而得名，它比“天下第一关”山海关早建九年。这里地势险要，南是白雪皑皑的祁连山，北是连绵起伏的黑山，两山之间，只有30华里，是河西走廊西部最狭窄的地方，被称作“河西第一隘口”。关西的大草滩，黄草平沙，地域开阔，素为古战场，关东是丝路重镇酒泉，紧靠关东南坡下，有著名的峪泉活水，“九眼泉”冬夏澄清，终年不竭，可供人马饮用，并可灌溉良田。这些优越的自然条件和险要的地理位置，是这里建关的主要原因。早在汉代，就在距关城北七里的石关峡口设有玉石障，依山凭险，设共防守，据史料记载，明代以前，这里一直是“有关无城”。
明王朝建立后，为了加强河西的军事防御，征虏大将军冯胜收复河西后，在此选址建关，以控制西去的交通要道。据历史记载，嘉峪关“初有水而后置关，有关而后建楼，有楼而后筑长城，长城筑而后关可守也”。嘉峪关从建关到成为坚固的防御工程，经历了一百六十多年的时间。明洪武五年(公元1372年)首筑土城，周长220丈，高2丈许，就是现在的内城夯筑部分，当时只是有关无楼。
明弘冶八年(公元148年)，肃州兵各道李端澄主持在西罗城嘉峪关正门项修建嘉峪关关楼，也就是说，嘉峪关关楼是关城建成一百多年之后方修建的，史书上记载说：“李端澄构大楼以壮观，望之四达”，又过了11年，也就是明正德元年(公元 1506年)八月至次年二月，李端澄又按照先年所建关的样式、规格修建了内城光化楼和柔远楼，同时，还修建了官厅、仓库等附属建筑物。嘉靖十八年(公元 1539年)，尚书翟銮视察河西防务，认为这里必须加强防务，于是大兴土木加固关城，在关城上增修敌楼、角楼等，并在关南关北修筑两翼长城和烽火台等。
至此，一座规模浩大，建筑宏伟的古雄关挺立在戈壁岩岗之上，它像一队威武雄壮的战士，屹立在两山之间、伸出双臂，牢牢地守卫着丝绸之路的咽喉要道。公元1873年当时的陕西直隶总督左宗堂在收复伊犁时速经嘉峪关，面对雄伟壮观、气势磅榜的关城，提笔写下“天下第一雄关”的巨匾悬挂于嘉峪关楼上，为雄关又添了几分威严、几分雄壮。清末因禁烟而被贬赴伊犁的爱国将领林则徐于1842年10月11日途经嘉峪关时，面对巍巍雄关和大漠风光写下了著名的诗篇<出嘉峪关感赋)其中一首写道：
严关百尺界天西，万里征入驻马蹄。
飞阁造连秦树直，综垣斜压陇云低。
天山峭摩肩立， 瀚海苍茫人望迷。
谁道堵函千古险，目看只见一九泥。
一生酷爱古诗词和书法艺术的毛泽东同志曾手书过这首著名的诗篇。
雄关关城布局十分合理，建筑也很得法，适合战争防御的需要，关城有三重城廊，多道防线，城内有城，城外有壕，形成重城并守之势，如果敌兵来犯，可确保万无一夫。
嘉峪关建关六百多年以来，由于风雨侵蚀，曾进行过大规模的修缮。尤其是在1986年，嘉峪关市委、市政府响应邓小平同志“爱我中华、修我长城”的伟大号召，倡导各界人士捐款集资，恢复关城。当时，嘉峪关按照国家文物局杨烈等同志指示“修旧如旧、恢复原貌”，经过多方努力，嘉峪关楼终于又屹立于雄伟的关城之上，站在嘉峪关楼上看着关外，由于岁月侵蚀而变的沧桑的丝路古道，诸多感慨涌上。回头，曾有这样一幅对联记载关楼的沧桑历史：
历明清经民国毁于风雨岁月空留遗址、静观世事沧桑：
爱中华修长城建在升平年代恢复原貌、再睹华夏春色。
更值得一提的是长城学专家罗哲文老先生也诗兴大发;口占七绝一首：
嘉峪山前起煤城，墙台高峙气萧森
雄关天下今谁主，游客登楼话古今。
