Dear tourists, now our car is driving on the Badaling Expressway, and weare about to enter the Badaling scenic area. The mountain in front is Jundumountain, on which the Badaling Great Wall sits. In the spring and Autumn periodand the Warring States period, the ancient people of our country began to buildthe Great Wall. At that time, the vassals fought for hegemony. In order toprotect their territory from invasion, they built the Great Wall one afteranother on their respective borders, which is called the mutual defense greatwall.
The road we passed just now is in the ditch. Guangou is the intersection ofYanshan Mountains and Jundushan mountains. It starts from Nankou town ofChangping District in the South and ends at Chengguan of Badaling Great Wall inYanqing County in the northwest, with a total length of 40 Li. It is the throatof the Central Plains to the Northwest Plateau. In the Ming Dynasty, there werefour lines of defense, namely Nankou pass, Juyong Pass, Shangguan pass andBadaling pass. On Diecui mountain in Guangou, there was one of the eight famousYanjing sceneries in Jin Dynasty: Juyong Diecui, but now the sceneries no longerexist.
Badaling Great Wall is an outstanding representative of the great wall ofMing Dynasty. Because it extends in all directions, it becomes Badaling. You mayask why the Great Wall was built here? In fact, this is mainly because of theimportant geographical location of Badaling area. It not only guards the Mingmausoleum, but also the northwest gate of the capital.
Badaling Great Wall is the witness of many important events in history,such as empress dowager Xiao's tour, the entrance of emperor Taizu of the YuanDynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi's flight to the west, etc. Here's another story totell: there is a huge stone beside the east gate of Guancheng. It's said that in1900, the Eight Power Allied forces invaded Beijing. Cixi passed here on her wayto escape to the West. She once stood on this stone and looked back at thecapital, so this stone is also called Wangjing stone. But now the stone is lessprominent.
There is a saying that we all know: not to the Great Wall is not a hero.Just introduced so many landscapes, you must be eager to come to the scenic spotfor sightseeing, don't worry, you will become a hero soon. Well, here is thefamous Badaling Great Wall. In the distance, there is a magnificent scenery.Looking down, it is Wengcheng, an important part of the Great Wall. It isusually built on the roads with dangerous terrain. The distance between the twogates of Wengcheng is 63.9 meters. The plaque on the west gate is the key to thenorth gate. I have already said that. The plaque of the east gate is: JuyongTown, which means another important town outside Juyong Pass. Now let's lookdown to the right.
