Dajingmen, City gate in Qiaoxi District, Zhangjiakou, China.
The Dajingmen gate structure rises 12 meters high with a width of 9 meters and features a terrace measuring 12 by 7.5 meters at its summit.
Built in 1644 during the Shunzhi Emperor's reign of the Qing Dynasty, this gate served as a critical defensive point and trading post between China and Mongolia.
The inscription 'Magnificent Rivers and Mountains' mounted over the gate's lintel in 1927 represents the connection between Chinese architecture and natural landscape appreciation.
Visitors can reach the gate by taking bus number 16 from Zhangjiakou city center, with admission prices set at 13 yuan for adults and 6 yuan for children.
The gate connects to a 100-meter brick section of the Great Wall that leads to a stone-built segment traversing the mountainous terrain.
