It is reported that some relics are found in an ancient road located in Agan Town, which includes wagon tracks, square holes and small caves. Those relics are unknown in the record. The specialists suggested that this is a part of Silk Road and some famous people like Monk Xuan Zang, Gao Shi and Cen Shen once walked down on it.

The a-thousand-year-old ancient road deserted for many decades On October 4, the reporters went to see the ancient road led by a local person Dong Jianguo, who knows the history and culture here. Dong said this road was originally part of Silk Road and served as the main road to the south of Lanzhou. In1935, since Ganchuan Road changed its route this road was gradually forgotten and dilapidated

Wagon tracks left on the stone This road is recorded in some history books but not in detail. During the visit, the reporter found some tracks of Silk Road, which is not mentioned in the record.

In Wuhu Gorge, they saw two tracks on a huge stone. After careful identification, Dong thought these tracks were formed by wagon's iron wheels rather than running water.
