The middle of map sheet # 88 Su-chou - Here we see this important city
now called Jiuquan. This was the main base for Han and later military and
commercial movement west through the corridor and into Central Asia. The road
from An-hsi comes from the north-west and the road continuing to Kan-chou goes
SE. Su-chou is at 98 degrees 35' E - 39 degrees 45' N. It is near the Pei ta
Ho. There are sections of the Han and Ming walls north of the city. The Ming
Great Wall here trends north-east. There are towers and small forts all along
the road.
