I stopped briefly at Wuwei to visit an Eastern Han tomb, dating from 100AD, where the region's most celbrated relic, a bornze Flying Horse was discovered. The symbol has since been adopted by the Chinese tourist board.
The tomb is deep underground and very cool, compared to the 35+ degree heat outside, but all of the original statues and artifacts that were found in the tomb have been removed to be displayed in museums in larger cities.
