## About Youji General's Mansion

This was the place where the Youji (guerrilla) generals who guarded Jiayuguan during the Ming and Qing dynasties handled military affairs and government business. The front courtyard centres on the council hall and highlights scenes of generals and civil and military officials commanding defences against invaders and issuing official documents. The back courtyard vividly recreates the daily life of the general and his family.
