Hexi Corridor, the site of the Great Wall of Ming. The south of the Hexi Corridor is Qilian Mountain, and the north is Heli Mountain, Longshou Mountain and the deserts of Inner Mongolia. In the middle of these mountains, there is a tens of kilometers wide and hundreds of kilometers long flat land, which is like a corridor, so it is called the Hexi Corridor. It is the must-pass place of the ancient Silk Road. The Great Wall is also built along the Hexi Corridor, mostly earth-building, most of which have collapsed, the national road along the way for hundreds of kilometers, all the way still visible the ruins of the wall, standing alone in the Gobi desert!

Alas, it is really amazing to be able to see this trace of history. Think about the feeling of the Great Wall left behind by these things, which makes people very historical and precipitated. I think this is the thing China is most proud of.
A sense of vicissitudes arises. A free attraction, few people come, not far from the widest road in the center of Datong County, I walked there, although there are some tired, after all, more than 2,000 altitude, there is a feeling of crossing.
The inscription should be fake, at least the most classic city walls from Xiaoshishan to Niangniang Mountain are all clay-earth, no stones. Regarding whether the Great Wall of Datongming is the Great Wall, there is still a small debate in the academic community, but the current mainstream view is that this is the westernmost section of the Great Wall of Ming. I personally insist that this is a section of the Great Wall, because it meets some of the definitions of the Great Wall. Very good site landscape, recommended to go and see. I have lived below it since I was a child, and I have climbed the Great Wall of Chase Ming countless times, hoping to protect it.
Very good, worth playing, praise one.
