公园前121年，汉武帝派骠骑将军霍去病西征匈奴，与匈奴打了一场著名的河西之战，大获全胜，武帝从长安赐御酒一坛犒劳征霍去病将军，霍将军认为功劳属于全军将士，于是将酒倒入泉中，与将士取而共饮，所以“ 酒泉 ” 的美名便传承至今。古酒泉流淌至今已有 2100多年的历史，它是汉王朝凿空西域、开疆扩土的历史见证。享有塞上江南、瀚海明珠之美誉。是酒泉地方文化的核心和载体。
西汉酒泉胜迹位于甘肃省酒泉市肃州区城东 1.9 公里 处，占地面积 27 万平方米，其中有天然湖泊 5 万平方米。是一座源于西汉史实、表现大汉雄风、融合江南灵秀的古典园林。是河西走廊唯一保存完整的一座汉式园林，迄今已有20__多年的历史。园内有泉有湖，有山有石，建有酒泉胜迹、月洞金珠、西汉胜境、祁连澄波、烟云深处、曲苑餐秀、花月双清、芦伴晚舟八大景区。古树名木，参天蔽日;亭台楼阁，雕梁画栋，素有"塞外江南"、"瀚海明珠"之美誉。如今，这里已被国家旅游局命名为AAAA级旅游景点。
矗立在面前的仿汉阙式门楼建筑，是酒泉公园的南门，也是公园的正门。主体由子、母阙构成，风格古朴自然，气势恢宏雄壮。中堂上悬挂的两块牌匾，揭示了酒泉公园的独特风光和深厚的历史内涵。其中，"瀚海明珠"是中国书法家协会理事张道兴所题，"泉湖胜景"是曹无所题。匾额的上方镶嵌着一幅牛头浮雕，是采用祁连山深处特有的花岗岩石精雕而成的。相传明末清初时，酒泉城中经常洪水泛滥，据说有妖魔鬼怪在作祟，人们就在钟鼓楼的西北角和西南角各建了一座寺庙来镇邪。因为两座寺庙与钟鼓楼形成一个牛头的形状，所以人们又把酒泉城叫做"卧牛城"。
在我国美丽辽阔的大西北，不仅仅有戈壁荒滩和那苍茫无边的孤烟沙场，而且还有许多如诗如画的风景名胜，如那颇具盛名的鸣沙山。远远望去，晴空万里，山体恍如一条横卧着的黄色巨龙，绵延柔软平滑似镜，山脊如刃峰若削，好一派罕见的流沙景观，让人叹为观止。
人要上山只有赤脚踏沙，人行沙中，顿感一种细软滑圆，踩入沙坑，表层蒸热里面凉爽又是另一番微妙。登沙山虽无惊险却很艰难，沙流软绵绵，进一步偏又下塌半步;踩着他人脚印好像省点力气，偶尔也小跑一阵往前冲刺。如此这般向上攀登，虽汗水淋漓，但也其乐无穷。
登上山峰，举目远视，天苍苍，沙茫茫，一览无遗，令人心旷神怡。远处层层叠叠的峰峦，挥洒出道道优美的曲线;近处沙浪萦回，看似澎湃汹涌却如波涛凝固。“鸣沙”之说更给此山抹上一层神秘色彩。阳光下掬沙细撒，指缝间倏然流下，五彩俱全，晶莹闪亮，沙脊两边阴阳分割呈强烈反差。一边是黑乎乎清凉凉，一边呈金灿灿热腾腾。真是东边日出西边凉。
再俯瞰山下，沙山环抱的荒漠中，一形似月牙之泉透露着粼粼波光;泉边芦苇垂柳摇曳，湖中轻波涟漪荡漾。据说，自东汉以来便有此泉记载，千百年来，不为流沙淹没不因干旱枯竭，创造了沙泉共存的奇迹，无愧于天下沙漠第一泉之美称。面对着蓝天、沙海、碧泉，和谐恬谧相映成趣，人们无不赞叹着大自然鬼斧神工造化之神奇。

甘肃历史悠久，是中华文化的发祥地之一，华夏始祖伏羲氏在这里推八卦、授渔猎，马可·波罗东游中国时也曾在此停留。甘肃以古甘州(今张掖)、肃州(今酒泉)两地首字而得名，简称甘。又因省境大部分在陇山之西，古代曾有陇西郡和陇右道的设置，故又称陇。现全省设11市(兰州、天水、嘉峪关、白银、金昌、武威、酒泉、张掖、定西、平凉、庆阳)、1地区(陇南)和两个自治州(临夏回族自治州、甘南藏族自治州)。
作为我国东南部通向西北的交通要道、汉唐丝绸之路的必经之地，甘肃大地上，散布着上千处人文景观，其中有堪称世界石窟壁画艺术宝库的敦煌莫高窟、万里长城的最西端嘉峪关、以泥塑著称于世的天水麦积山石窟等。
甘肃地域辽阔，自然风光优美，茫茫的戈壁、淳朴的黄土高原、广袤无垠的草原、洁白莹润的冰川共同构成了一幅雄浑壮丽的画卷。鸣沙山、月牙泉的奇异组合，给神秘沉重的丝路古道增添了一丝轻松惬意。
甘肃是一个多民族的地区，独具魅力的甘南藏族风情、肃南裕固族民俗，让许多国人甚至外国客人都新奇不已。
