From a historical perspective, Yanmen Pass has served as a crucial hub for exchanges between the Central Plains and the nomadic ethnic groups of the north since the Spring and Autumn Period. It has witnessed countless wars and historical events, such as the story of the Yang Family Generals and the Journey to the Frontier by Concubine Zhaojun, making it a symbol of the Chinese national spirit. Its well-preserved city walls, fire towers, arrow towers, and other military installations, along with its rich historical relics, allow visitors to deeply experience the grandeur and splendor of ancient frontier defense culture.
Of the nine fortresses in the world, Yanmen Pass is the most important. China's first fortress!!! Entering from the North Gate parking lot, I paid 10 yuan for a round-trip ticket. Once I entered Mingyue Tower, I officially entered the fortress. It takes a lot of energy to climb all the way up the Great Wall! ⬆️ Feel the vicissitudes of ethnic integration and history!

I went there on May Day. There were thousands of people in the cave, and it was hard to move. After buying the ticket, you have to take the scenic bus, otherwise it takes several kilometers to get to the ticket gate halfway up the mountain. It is not the same as the imagined cave. The cave is on the top of the mountain. You have to continue climbing or take the cable car to get there. I thought it was a cave with underground rivers and many stalactites, and many of the landscapes inside are artificial, so there is nothing to see. By the way, the cable car is worth experiencing, and the scenery is good.
There is a shuttle bus to the foot of the mountain in Yuwang Cave. You can choose to enter by cable car or climbing. The climbing takes about 1 hour and is a bit steep, but the scenery along the way is good (it is recommended to climb up the mountain and take the cable car down the mountain). The area of the cave is not very large, and it takes about 1 hour to walk through it. The cave is colorful and it is quite interesting to walk up and down. The elderly and children should pay attention to safety, as the stairs are narrow and slippery. The price of the scenic spot is OK, and the cost performance is good.
