Jiumenkou, Great Wall section in Liaoning, China
The Jiumenkou Great Wall extends 1.7 kilometers with a height of 10 meters, featuring twelve watchtowers positioned along its stone and brick structure.
Built in 1382 under Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, this fortification served as a crucial military pass connecting northwestern China to central regions.
Archaeological excavations in the 1990s uncovered iron cannons and blue-white porcelain bowls, revealing details about the daily life of Ming soldiers.
The entrance fee costs 90 RMB, granting access to the heritage site, including a 1,027-meter-long troop tunnel and additional nearby attractions.
This section stands as the only part of the Great Wall that crosses directly over a river, incorporating a nine-arch bridge over the Jiujiang River.
