Jinshanling Great Wall
The Jinshanling Great Wall, 130 kilometers (81 miles) northwest Beijing, happens to be the boundary of Beijing and Hebei Province. It was given the name for its perching on the Jinshan Mountain, a branch of Mt Yanshan. Jinshanling was a strategic vital passage in the past dynasties. The wall, 10.5 kilometers (6.5 miles) long, presents the original appearance with little renovation. Jinshanling Great Wall has five main passes and 67 watchtowers. Every 100 meters, there is an enemy tower each of which is about ten meters high. Featuring various structures and having various functions, those watchtowers are either one tiered or two-tiered. This section is especially favored by the overseas tourists.
