Do you have the GPS data of all of the towers?

Yes. I did not reach all of the towers but took some photos at a distance, so some of the locations are approximate. But the towers can probably be located on Google Earth using the approximate coordinates.

I have more of them too, but often I was not able to get a decent photo.

Could you tell me what this place is called? is it near Dunhuang town or near the Yumenguan area?

(i don't have gps )

I still would be interested in the exact location of the non Qing tower and the fortress.

The fortress is at 40°8'18"N 94°38'37"E. There were many towers to the south of the train tracks around 40°15'17"N 95°15'38"E and to the southeast of the road starting around 40°3'28"N 94°30'23"E. I see one is already on the Han map. There were also a few to the east of the Hecangcheng Granary. Two of them had fences around them.
