Ruins of the Great Wall in Tangshan

As highways and roads have been building leading deep into the previously inaccessible mountains, people have discovered more ruins of the Great Wall. The section of the ruined Great Wall at Tangshan in Hebei Province, about200 kilometres to northeast Beijing, opened to the tourist in late 2002.Linking the Shanhaiguan Pass to the east and the better-known Badaling section in Beijing, the wall stretches about 220 kilometres through Tangshan with 29 passes, 603 watchtowers and 82 beacon towers.The Xifengkou Gateway, located in Qianxi County at Tangshan, was an important stronghold in ancient times.

The structure looks just like a tired dragon drinking water, with its neck submerged in a lake and tail lifting up at the peak of the mountain. The name Xifeng, which means "peak of happiness," has developed from an earlier meaning "site for a happy reunion." A delightful legend has it that a young man yearned to see his father, who had gone to build the Great Wall. He travelled a long distance and finally found his father working there. Overjoyed after a separation, which lasted many years, both father and son lived there for the rest of their lives. Part of the Great Wall along the Jiufeng Mountain is unique in that it is only 70 centimetres wide at itsnarrowest point. In fact, it is the wall's narrowest section.

The section of the Wall on the Jiufeng Mountain was a typical example of official corruption inancient times, as local officials stole the building funds.Ironically, the section built with limited materials has now become a tourist attraction for its unique features.There is an old tale, which has passed from generation to generation that a monk sacrificed himself by jumping over a cliff on the Jiufeng Mountain to become a Buddha. The Xiyun Temple on the peak, constructed in the Tang Dynasty was built of memory of the monk. Apart from the peak and ancient temple, the Jiufeng Mountain also features unusual trees, odd rocks and step cliffs.
