CHINA - Jinshanling Section of the Great Wall

Thanks to Moyuan for the great card and beautiful set of stamps!

The Great Wall at Jinshanling is one of the best preserved parts of the Great Wall with many original features. It got its name because it was built on the Greater and Lesser Jinshan ('Gold Mountain') Ranges. A tablet with the Chinese inscription for 'Jinshanling Great Wall' was set into this section.

The Jinshanling section of the Great Wall is 10.5 km long with 5 passes, 67 towers and 3 beacon towers. The initial section of the wall has been restored to original condition, but the condition of the wall deteriorates towards its natural state as it approaches Simatai."

Where is the Jinshanling Great Wall Section?

Jinshanling's Great Wall is in a mountainous area 130 km (80 miles) northeast of central Beijing. This section of wall connects the Simatai Great Wall section in the east, and Gubeikou Section in the west.
