Shuiguan Great Wall of China - "The Water Pass"

2022-05-30

To see the wonders of the Great wall,lying among mountains and waters.

To feel the quietness of ancient temples,witnessing the dawn of lives and souls

The Shuiguan Great Wall itself is a scroll of history, spanning more than 100 thousand miles and recording what happened on China’s soil for over 2000 years. It is the soul of the country,the backbone of the people.

This section of the Great Wall, which is the eastern part of the Badaling Great Wall, was cut off due to the construction of China's first self-designed Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. The Shuiguan Great Wall is the site of the Ming Great Wall, with a history of more than 400 years.

It was built under the supervision of Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general. This section was built at the mouth of a dangerous valley. The Great Wall from the Water Gate Arrow Tower is in the shape of a "V", lying along the mountains like an ancient dragon,spreading its wings like a giant bird.The Arrow Tower serves as a hoarding and a water gate at the same time, which is extremely rare, hence the name Shuiguan Great Wall.

The Great Wall is picturesque all year round. You can see the flowers blooming in the mountains in spring, the lush vegetation in summer, the red leaves covering the mountains in autumn, and the Wall lying in the snow like a dragon in winter. The magnificent Great Wall with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the tranquility of the ancient temple with outstanding people are the best words to describe this place. In the distance, the Great Wall is far into the clouds, and here you will definitely feel the hard work of the Chinese people.,as t is hard to imagine how such a magnificent building was built under such a dangerous terrain.

In addition to climbing the Great Wall, Laishuiguan is also a great place to visit.You can enjoy the newly built tourist attractions there,such as the palace of Genghis Khan, the slide, and the forest of monuments on the Great Wall. There are also many historical sites and natural landscapes to be found here, including the Stone Buddha Temple and Camel Peak in the "72 Scenes of Guangou", and the famous Zhan Tianyou "之" - shaped railway not far away.
