Shanyin Guangwu Ming Great Wall | The unique "Moon Gate".

|The unique "Moon Gate". The Guangwu Ming Great Wall winds along the mountain ridge, rising and falling with the twists and turns of the mountain, like a dragon with no visible head or tail. It is entirely made of brick and stone, with 16 enemy towers, 5 of which are still well preserved. It also has a waist gate and other buildings that are easy to defend and attack. It is located east of Yanmenguan, west of Ningwu Old City, south of Wutai Scenic Area, and north of Yungang Grottoes. It is a representative of the Ming Great Wall in Shanxi Province and a treasure among the Great Walls in China. The Guangwu Ming Great Wall has a beautiful relic called the "Moon Gate". It was originally an enemy tower. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, only an arch-shaped wall remains. Its shape is like a half moon, so it is called the "Moon Gate". The "Moon Gate" is a landmark of the Guangwu Ming Great Wall and attracts many tourists to check in. It not only shows the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient buildings, but also witnesses the vicissitudes of history. Free admission, but you need to take a "shuttle bus" to get there. Private cars are not allowed.
