Jinshanling Great
Wall
Jinshanling Great Wall about 150 kilometers
away from Beijing lies in the mountainous area in Ruanping
county of Hebei province - a key military stronghold.
The structure was mainly built in 1570 of Ming dynasty.
The 20-kilometer-long structure, although a bit smaller
and narrower compared to Badaling and Mutianyu features
complicated and well preserved fortifications systems
and fantastic natural scenery. china great satellite

The wall looks a bit old and ruinous
but much more natural, 7.8 meters high, 5-6 meters thick
at bottom. On the top, slab pavements were 4 meters
wide with 2 meter-high parapets on each side. On the
side facing the enemy stood 7-foot- (2-metre-) high
crenels called duo-kou. On the upper part of the duo-kou
were large openings used to watch and shoot at attackers,
and on the lower part were small openings or loopholes,
through which defenders could also shoot. Besides, "obstacle-walls"
built perpendicular to the parapets. These "walls-within-walls"
were used for continued defense against enemies who
might have succeeded in scaling the wall. china great

Two-storeyed watchtowers were built
on the wall in some strategic places. The ground floor
was used for living, storing food and weapons and the
top floor was used for defense. The watchtowers were
in different shapes, some square, some oval and others
in strange shapes. Their roofs are flat, sloped, thatched,
or even octagonal. Pu-fang - simply structured huts
were built to provide shelter for the guards during
storms. Inside watchtowers, anfractuous walls and passages
also reveal the wisdom and tenacity of ancient Chinese.china

If you want to see the wall, but avoid
the crowds of Badaling, this is the place to come, but
be prepared for a walk from the car park up to the wall.
