Features: A famous historical and cultural city in China, the capital of China's tourism (a symbol of tourism), the homeland of Chinese wine, a historical witness to Tibet's (belonging to the motherland), and the world-renowned home of white yaks. Wuwei City is located in the central part of Gansu Province, at the eastern end of the Hexi Corridor, where the Loess Plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the Mongolian-Altaic Plateau converge. It borders Baiyin City and Lanzhou City to the east, Qinghai Province to the south across the Qilian Mountains, Zhangye City and Jinchang City to the west, and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to the north. It is 276 kilometers southeast of the provincial capital Lanzhou and 74 kilometers northwest of the nickel capital Jinchang City. The total area is 33,238 square kilometers, accounting for 7.4% of the province's total area, with a total population of 1.98 million. It currently administers Minqin County, Gulong County, Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, and Liangzhou District.
In the splendid years, the historical and cultural city of Wuwei has entered a new era of historical development; the tide of reform has steered the ship of history toward a more glorious century. The History of Wuwei reproduces the highlights of Wuwei's history in an objective and three-dimensional manner through text, images, and other forms. It is easy to understand and a truly innovative work that combines academic rigor, knowledge, and aesthetic appeal. It not only provides people with rich historical knowledge and cultural nourishment but also offers spiritual refinement and a sense of beauty.
I sincerely hope that The History of Wuwei can become a key for people to explore and understand Wuwei. I also sincerely hope that those who care about and love Wuwei will come to invest and develop this ancient and beautiful land.
