Features: The Great Wall has dozens of famous passes, each majestic and spectacular, with varying scenery. In the northeastern part of Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, the Great Wall flows down from the mountains southward, piercing the Bohai Sea, forming Shanhai Pass, known as the "Pass under Heaven." Beyond the pass, it reaches the eastern end of the Great Wall—the famous Laolongtou. This pass connects the mountains and the sea, with the city gate situated in the center, forming a square. The towers and passes on both sides stand stably, exuding the of "One man can guard the pass, and ten thousand cannot break through." Lying in the Yan Mountains Gorge, over 50 kilometers northwest of Beijing, is the famous scenic spot Juyong Pass. This pass was built during the Ming Dynasty and is sandwiched between two mountains. Inside the city gate, there remains a beautifully carved Yun Tai. The clear streams meander through the pass, surrounded by layered peaks and cliffs, making it one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Yanjing" known as "Juyong Overlapping Greenery." The western end of the Ming Great Wall—Jiayuguan Pass—is located in the western part of Gansu Province and is the most complete remaining section of the Great Wall passes.
