Badaling Great Wall is a typical example of the grandeur and precipitousness of Wan Li Great Wall. As a barrier to Beijing, the mountains overlap and the situation is dangerous. The majestic city wall spirals from north to south, extending in the mountains with no end in sight.

The Great Wall, which spreads to both sides according to the mountain, stands on a dangerous cliff. The word "natural danger" written by the ancients on the cliff accurately summarizes the military importance of Badaling.

Extended data

Historically, Badaling Great Wall was the gateway to guard Juyong Pass. From the Badaling Great Wall to today's Nankou, there is a 40-mile-long canyon in the middle. The related city "Juyongguan" was built in the canyon, so this canyon was named "Guangou". Badaling Great Wall really seized the pass, and Badaling stood at the highest point at the northern end of Guangou. The two peaks here are sandwiched in the middle, open and commanding, and the situation is extremely dangerous.

The ancients said that "looking at Juyongguan from Badaling is like building a collar to see a well" and "the danger of Juyong country is not in Guancheng, but in Badaling". It can be seen that Juyongguan was just a city at that time, and the real Great Wall was built in Badaling. Badaling Pass's special terrain has become a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties. Therefore, it is of great strategic significance to build the Great Wall here.
