the Gubeikou Great Wall
The ancient Beikou Great Wall is the most complete Great Wall system in the history of China's Great Wall. It consists of the Great Wall of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, including Wohu Mountain, Panlong Mountain, Jinshan Mountain and Simatai. Gubeikou is the Great Wall fortress between Shanhaiguan Pass and Juyongguan Pass. It is the throat of Liaodong Plain and Inner Mongolia to the Central Plains. It has always been a place for military strategists to contend for. Especially in the Five Dynasties of Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the battle for Gubeikou has never stopped, so the role of the Great Wall has become particularly important.
Gubeikou Great Wall is located in the southeast of Gubeikou Town, Miyun District, Beijing. It consists of Wohu Mountain Great Wall, Panlong Mountain Great Wall, Jinshanling Great Wall and Simatai Great Wall. In the six years of Tianbao in Northern Qi Dynasty (555), a Great Wall of more than 1,500 kilometers was built from the Xihe River (now Yulin River in Shaanxi Province) to Shanhaiguan Customs. Among them, Gubeikou is the key fortification point. In the Jin and Yuan dynasties, this crossing was built up. In the 11th year of Hongwu Ming Dynasty (1378), additional closure facilities such as Guancheng, Xiaoguankou and beacon tower were built, and two more gates were built. One was located at the gate of the Great Wall, called "Tiemen Gate", which allows only one ride through; the other was located on the Chaohe River, called "Shuimen Gate", and the site was preserved. In the first year of Longqing (1567), Qi Jiguang and Tan Lun began to rebuild the Great Wall from Shanhaiguan to Juyongguan (see Juyongguan and Yuntai), and the Great Wall of Gubeikou was built. Wangjing Tower is the highest point of the Great Wall at 986 meters above sea level.
In 1933, the Anti-Japanese War in Gubeikou took place here. More than 360 dead soldiers were buried together at the foot of the Great Wall of Gubeikou to build the tomb of the dead soldiers in Gubeikou.
The whole ancient Beikou Great Wall has not been repaired in modern times. It has a sense of vicissitudes of life. The broken walls and bullet-eyeballs make people feel as if they were in the era of fierce war. In the sunset, people cry.
