The Jinshanling section of the Great Wall is located in the mountainous area in Luanping County, Hebei Province. It is an important part of the Ming Dynasty's Great Wall. In the first year of the Longqing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1567), Qi Jiguang guarded the northern border and continued to build many watchtowers here.
The Jinshanling section of the Great Wall starts from Wangjing Tower in the east and ends at Longyukou in the west, with a total length of about 15 kilometers. The wall is generally about 7 meters high, 6 meters wide at the bottom, and 5 meters wide at the top, allowing five horses to ride side by side. As the most complete section of the Ming Dynasty's Great Wall, the Jinshanling section has profound archaeological value and is of great significance for studying the history of the Ming Dynasty in China and the life of Qi Jiguang.
In 1988, the Jinshanling Great Wall was declared a national key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council of the People's Republic of China.
