Information
The Jinshanling Great Wall stretches across the Yanshan mountain range at the border between Luanping County in Chengde City, Hebei Province, and the Miyun District of Beijing. It connects to the Simatai Great Wall in the east and the Gubeikou Great Wall in the west, located 130 kilometers from downtown Beijing. It is an important part of the golden tourism route in northern Beijing. Construction began in the first year of the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty (1368 AD), overseen by General Xu Da. The Jinshanling Great Wall starts from the historically famous Gubeikou Pass in the west and extends to the towering Wangjing Tower in the east, with a total length of 10.5 kilometers. Along the way, there are 5 passes, 67 watchtowers, and 3 beacon towers. Known for its wide views, dense watchtowers, unique landscapes, exquisite architectural art, and well-preserved military defense system, it is also considered the most beautiful section of the Great Wall. This section is referred to as the "Wild Great Wall," unlike other popular sections that have been renovated in recent years. The Jinshanling Great Wall is far from the hustle and bustle; it is tranquil, natural, and offers charming scenery throughout the year, making it worth spending a day to explore. Driving from downtown Beijing, under good road conditions, it takes about 4 hours one way to reach the scenic area. It is recommended for those staying in the city to set off early to avoid traffic congestion during peak hours.
