Huangyaguan Great Wall
Located in the mountainous area of Tianjin's northern Ji County the Huangyaguan Great Wall was first built during the Northern Qi Dynasty (550 557) and repaired in large scale with bricks during the Ming Dynasty (1368 1644) When appointed as the chief commanding officer in the Ji Garrison (one of the eleven garrisons of the Ming Dynasty) Qi Jiguang added watch towers and other defensive works
The Huangyaguan Great Wall comes out first in the ten mostvisited sites in Tianjin It is considered to be a miniature of the Great Wall The entire section is built on an abrupt mountain ridge Being endowed with both natural beauty and cultural interest it has become famous as a natural beauty spot and a summer resort The major scenic area is composed of Huangyaguan Pass and Taiping Mountain Stronghold
Huangyaguan Pass In 1984 the people of Tianjin spent three years repairing 3308 yards of the main wall from Banlagang Mountain in the east to Wangmaoding Mountain in the west They restored 20 terraces the Huangyaguan Water Gate and the Bagua Castle (the Eight Diagrams Castle) The defensive system of the wall is complete Watch towers frontier cities drain holes emplacements barracks and other indispensable military facilities are arranged orderly along the wall Besides the stele forests of the Great Wall Beiji Temple the exhibition hall of famous couplets the Great Wall Museum (the first museum along the Great Wall) and the Phoenix Fortress have been newly built within the area
Taipingzhai Great Wall
Six miles southeast of Huangyaguan Pass is the Taipingzhai Great Wall another important mountain stronghold of the wall during the Ming Dynasty (1368 1644) It is also called Taipinganzhai meaning a village of peace and prosperity Starting from Banlagang Mountain in the east and arriving at Guafu Tower (Widow Tower) in the west it winds through the precipitous mountains for about 955 yards
The wall is an important component of Huangyaguan Great Wall There are six watch towers one battlement and one shortcut leading to the wall The architectural styles of the military towers vary considerably There are square round solid and hollow towers with some inside and others outside the wall Beside the shortcut there is a small citadel where an 85meter statue of Qi Jiguang the chief commanding officer of Ji Garrison (one of the eleven garrisons in the Ming Dynasty) is located The local people built this statue in order to commemorate his great contribution to frontier peace and stability in that period To the west of the citadel a section of the wall extends 33 yards out to where a sentry post was situated
At the western end of the wall is a square stone tower called Guafu Tower Widow Tower in English built by twelve wives whose husbands died during the construction of the wall in the Ming Dynasty The widows erected this tower to commemorate their husbands' notable exploits The tower has two levels and measures 13meters (14yards) high Arched arrow windows are on the four sides of the tower
Besides these cultural points of interest Taipingzhai Great Wall is also famous for its amazingly impressive scenery Zigzagging along the mountain ridge for over 984 yards the wall looks very much like a giant dragon flying through clouds
Mt Panshan Scenic Area
Covering an area of 106 square kilometers (about 26193 acres) Mt Panshan Scenic Area is located in Jixian County 110 kilometers (684 miles) away from Tianjin 88 kilometers (547 miles) away from Beijing As the name suggests the scenic area is mainly Mt PanshanCoriented Endowed with natural beauty and a historical heritage Mt Panshan is known as 'The First Mountain East of Beijing' and is listed as one of the top fifteen mountains in China
The mountain acquired its present name early in the Eastern Han (25220) Taizong the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty (618907) was prodigal of his praise of its scenery on his chance visit when he led the army in a campaign Seventytwo temples thirteen pagodas and numerous Xanadus and towers were built on the mountain in the Ming Dynasty (13681644) and the Qing Dynasty (16441911) Qianlong a brilliant and wise Qing Dynasty emperor was so impressed that he made thirty or so visits and wrote 1366 poems to express his admiration of the area In the first half of the twentieth century the whole resort all fell to ruin due to hostilities and neglect It has undergone a process of restoration since the 1990s and is now regaining its fame
It is famous for jade pine trees strange and astonishing peaks clear waters grotesquely shaped rocks and clusters of ancient temples On the mountaintop numerous pines hide the sky from view and block out the sunshine Rugged rocks in a variety of shapes some of which resemble a toad a general or a boa will greet you in the middle of the mountain At its foot clear water splashes on the rocks The mountain consists of five peaks with the main one Guayue (Moon Hanging) Peak Although Guayue Peak is only 857 meters (28117 feet) above sea level to the north it is possible to see a section of the Great Wall while to the west Mt Taihang can be seen
