It is under the administration of Jiuquan City. HistoryEmperor Wudi (140-87 BCE) had the Great Wall extended northwestward all the way to the Gate of Jade (Yumen Pass), the westernmost garrison town near Dunhuang. He then set up a system of garrisons all along this part of the Great Wall and put its headquarters in a town called Anxi (“Tranquil West”) and where the northern and southern Silk Routes historically diverged."[1]EconomyThe county's location is ideally suited for wind farms, earning the nickname "world's wind warehouse".[2] From the east the wind blows through a high, narrow valley formed by the Qilian and Beishan mountains, reaching 8.3 metres per second and energy density of 703 watts per cubic metre.[2] {{wide image|Gansu.Guazhou.windfarm.croped.jpg|800px|align-cap=center|A local windfarm.}}TransportThe mainline Lanxin Railway and branch line Dunhuang Railway intersect at Liugou Railway Station in the county.
