Shanhaiguan Pass (21)
The Shanhaiguan Pass (Pass between the Yan Mountain and the Bohai Sea) is well-known as “First Pass under Heaven”. It is an enclosed area with walls about 14 meters high, 6 meter thick and 4 kilometers in perimeter that link up the Great Wall.
Shanhaiguan Great Wall, 26 kilometers long, winds its way from Laolongtou (Old Dragon’s Head) in the south to Jiumenkou in the northeast. The existent wall was successively built by General Xu Da and Qi Jiguang in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
Jiaoshan Great Wall (21)
Jiaoshan Great Wall was extraordinarily precipitous and rough. Some section winds its way slowly and some section is high up in the mountains and overlooks the coastal plain. Seen from afar, the wall rises up into the sky.
Stone city extending to the sea, part of Shanhaiguan Great Wall, is the only place into the sea for the Ming Great Wall, called "Laolongtou” or "Old Dragon’s Head”.
