Great Wall of China, Juyongguan section

Juyong Pass of Great Wall, Juyongguan of Great Wall of China
China, Beijing
The Juyongguan section of the Great Wall of China is one of the most strategically important and interesting sections of the wall to visit. The fortress walls here are laid along the steep slopes of the mountains at an altitude of up to 800 m for almost 4.2 km. The shape of the site is due to the natural relief and the desire to protect the Juyongguan Pass, which opens the way to Beijing, as carefully as possible. This fortification was built during the Ming Dynasty, and the previous sections of it were rebuilt, reinforced and connected. When visiting Juyongguan, it is also worth seeing the white marble Cloud Platform (Yuntai), which is covered with bas-reliefs on Buddhist themes and inscriptions in six languages. In the north, the section of Juyongguan merges into another section of the Great Wall - Badaling.

“If you have not visited the Great Wall of China, you are not a real Chinese” Mao Zedong The Great Wall of China is one of the oldest architectural monuments in China and a symbol of the power of Chinese civilization. It stretches from the Liaodong Bay to the Gobi Desert for a distance of more than two thousand kilometers, and if we take into account other ramparts extending from it, the total is 6000-6500 km. The construction of the great wall lasted hundreds of years and stopped only after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty.
