During the Spring Festival, there were only a handful of tourists, and I was the only one who walked up. The wind was very strong on the mountain, and standing on the narrow city wall seemed to be blown down by the wind. Lamenting the greatness of the ancients, those who want to feel desolation and loneliness can walk a long way up the weedy path.

According to relevant materials and inscriptions, the Guangwu Ming Great Wall was built in the seventh year of Hongwu (1374) in the Ming Dynasty. It is an inner Great Wall with a total length of about 40 miles (from Xinguangwu to Xi'an Valley). The earth wall still has 26 miles and the rest is remnants , and the relatively complete one is in Xinguangwu, Shanyin County.

It happened to be on the second day after the Moon Gate collapsed. It was a coincidence. I climbed up with great difficulty. I saw a group of people surrounded by a pile of bricks. I was still puzzled. After watching the news, I realized that there was a A famous moon gate. But the original style of the Great Wall is really good!

A very well-preserved ancient frontier town, there is no charge, and it has a sense of historical vicissitudes! Worth a visit if you like history! A big tree on the city wall embraced by three people, witnessing the past history of the ancient town!

The Guangwu Ming Great Wall may be one of the most complete "wild Great Walls" in the country, and it has been included in the national key cultural relics protection, but its protection is distressing. The ancient city wall is climbed by tourists casually, and no one cares about it, except occasionally. Individual signs say that climbing is not allowed, there is no cordon or partition, or the obstruction of cultural relics administrators. It is said that a local cultural relics administrator is busy driving people up the mountain to make money (10 yuan per person), because the vehicles can't go up the mountain
