brief introduction

This section of the Great Wall is located in the northeast of the original xiaoshetai Township in Wuqian banner. The whole section of the Great Wall is made of local materials. The stones used are basically strips, cuboids and a small amount of natural stones, which are smashed by hand. They are built by interlacing layers of natural stones, and the internal and external walls are regular. The cross section of the Great Wall is trapezoidal. The wall is negatively inclined to the terrain. The slope section is 30 degrees. The base width is 4-6m, the top width is 1-3m, and the height is 5-6m. At the corner of the ridge or gully, there are often external walls, which are very dangerous. On the gentle ridge on the south side of the Great Wall, there are earth built observation towers every 500-1000 meters, with a bottom of 4 meters × 7 meters and a height of 0.5-3 meters; every 5 kilometers or so, beacon towers are built on the high mountain top, with a square bottom, a side of 10 meters long and a height of 2-3 meters. Each beacon tower echoes each other.
