Juyongguan is a famous pass city along the Great Wall. It is known as one of the three major pass cities of the Great Wall. It is built along the mountain very steeply. On the tower of Juyongguan, there is a plaque of "the most magnificent pass in the world". It is a resort for tourists to take pictures. Moreover, the mountains here are beautiful, and the trees are layered on top of each other. "Juyong emerald green" is also a famous scenery around the capital.
When visiting Juyongguan, most people focus on climbing the Great Wall and enjoying the scenery at the top of the mountain. Walking is required in the scenic area, and it takes about three hours to climb to the beacon tower at the highest point, which requires a certain amount of physical strength, so you must be mentally prepared before visiting.

To the scenic spot, you must first come to the Juyongguan Scenic Spot Square at the foot of the mountain. There is a stone gate called Yuntai, which is a treasure of Tibetan Buddhist architecture with a white stone structure. There are Bodhisattva statues carved on the two walls of the inner passage of the Yuntai, which are beautiful and unique. Walk along the stone gate to reach the gate of Guancheng, where you can see the lofty plaque of "No. 1 Grand Pass in the World", and you can take a photo with it.
Admire the majestic tower
After buying tickets at the gate of Guancheng, enter the scenic spot. There are many cultural attractions in the scenic spot, such as Emperor Temple, Diecui Academy, Biaozhong Temple, Fengyucang, etc., which enshrine ancient celebrities and record the history of Juyongguan. There is also a small lake next to it. You can visit them one by one. At the same time, you can enjoy the tall and majestic towers under the South and North Passes in the scenic area. The Great Wall connected with the towers is in the shape of a "herringbone" on the hillside, which is very special. The inns and restaurants in the scenic area are also here.
climbing the great wall
After visiting the tower, you can start the journey of climbing the Great Wall. It usually takes two to three hours to climb to the top beacon tower, which is a physical challenge. But after climbing to the top of the mountain, you can see one of the famous eight scenic spots in the capital, "Juyong emerald green".
There will be public toilets and a small shop selling snacks and water on the road, but the price is higher than outside. If you are physically strong enough, you can bring some snacks and water with you. It is recommended to bring high-calorie foods such as chocolate and raisins to supplement your physical strength. This section of the Great Wall is relatively steep, with 40 centimeters of steepness and 20-30 centimeters of slowness, and some places are worn and uneven due to long-term trampling, so be extra careful on your feet. After climbing the Great Wall, you can choose to return the same way, or you can go down the mountain from the other direction of the Great Wall and return to the scenic square.
