There are seven world cultural heritages, including Mogao Grottoes, Maijishan Grottoes and Jiayuguan Fortress in Dunhuang.

There are more than 7,000 ancient cultural sites, 206 grottoes and temples in the province, and more than 3,654 kilometers of the Great Wall remains from past dynasties. Nearly 430,000 pieces of cultural relics were collected in the provincial museum, including the bronze horses unearthed in Wuwei, which is a tourist symbol of China. Two items have been included into the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and 68 items into China's national intangible cultural heritage project. Gansu is the birthplace of Fuxi culture, Chinese farming culture and traditional Chinese medicine culture.
