The main attractions of Guangwu City

The old and new light and fog cities are 2 kilometers apart, and they are horns. For example, two tigers closed the door and formed a solid defense line with the Ming Great Wall. It is an important part of the whole defense system of Yanmenguan. In 2006, it was announced by the State Council as a national key cultural relics protection unit. The city walls are very well preserved. From a distance, the city wall is khaki, but from a close distance, it is a complete brick surface. The plane of the ancient city is rectangular, 489 meters long from east to west and 338 meters long from north to south. The wall is 8.3m high, and the female wall is1.7m high. There are four horse faces on the east, west and south walls, and five on the north wall. 17 horse faces are still clinging to the wall, which is steady and dignified. A crib with holes and perforations was made on the city wall. Set three doors: east, south and west. The east and west gates are larger, with a width of 4m and a depth of 13m, while the south gate is smaller.

Guangwu Great Wall starts from Wu Xinguang in the west and ends at Baicaokou Village in the south, with a total length of10km. Climbing from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain along the ridge is magnificent and magnificent, which is the essence of Shuozhou Ming Great Wall. There are 20 watchtowers in this section of the Great Wall, five of which are well preserved. The watchtower is built on the city wall, which is in harmony with the dangerous terrain and is even more heavily guarded. Among them, the toothed Great Wall near Baicaokou is rare in China. Motianling is the best place to enjoy the panoramic view of this section of the Great Wall. At first glance, the ups and downs of the Great Wall are like a Youlong, entrenched at the top of the mountain.

At the foot of the Great Wall, the Han Formation is 8 kilometers long from north to south and 4 kilometers wide from east to west, with an area of 32 square kilometers and 298 earth mounds. The mounds are undulating, like hills, dotted and magnificent. There are three types of sealed soil piles: large, medium and small. The largest soil sealing pile No.236 is 20 meters high and covers an area of 3,250 square meters. During the period of 1988, the tombs in Guangzhou and Wuhan were announced by the State Council as national key cultural relics protection units. In recent years, Shanyin County has vigorously developed tourism resources, and built a tall and majestic archway, a wide statue square and a towering Han Tomb Museum in front of the Han Group. Now the Han Group has become a military tourist area where people mourn the soldiers killed in the Han Dynasty and experience the Xiongguan battlefield.
