Badaling Water Pass Great Wall Scenic Area
Located 40 kilometers northwest of Beijing, this section of the Great Wall is the eastern section of the Badaling Great Wall. It was cut off due to the construction of China's first independently designed Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. The Shuiguan Great Wall is the site of the Ming Great Wall. It was supervised by the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang and has a history of more than 400 years. This section of the Great Wall was built at the mouth of a dangerous valley. From the Shuimen Arrow Tower, the Great Wall is in a "V" shape, following the mountain terrain, like a giant dragon or Kunpeng spreading its wings to fly. The Arrow Tower is an enemy tower and also has the function of a water gate. This type of construction is extremely rare in the Great Wall along the route, so it is named Shuiguan Great Wall. The Shuiguan Great Wall has a dangerous terrain. The blue dragon rises and falls between the mountains and passes through the cliffs. The castles are connected, the beacons look towards each other, and the double-sided arrow slits keep out thousands of enemies. The Shuiguan Great Wall starts from "Chuanzi No. 1" in the east and ends at the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway in the west. It is 6.8 kilometers long and is famous for its strangeness, danger, steepness and firmness.
