Mutianyu Great Wall Pictures

The Mutianyu section, located in Huairou around 45 miles (72 kilometers) from Beijing, was endowed with a long history. It connects Juyongguan Pass on the west and the Guibeikou on the east. The part was initially built in Northern Qi Dynasty (550-557). In the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), it was rebuilt in order to enhance its defensive potential. It served as the protective screen in the North, guarding the imperial capital Beijing.
