Hexi Corridor, the site of the Great Wall of Ming. The south of the Hexi Corridor is Qilian Mountain, and the north is Heli Mountain, Longshou Mountain and the deserts of Inner Mongolia. In the middle of these mountains, there is a tens of kilometers wide and hundreds of kilometers long flat land, which is like a corridor, so it is called the Hexi Corridor. It is the must-pass place of the ancient Silk Road. The Great Wall is also built along the Hexi Corridor, mostly earth-building, most of which have collapsed, the national road along the way for hundreds of kilometers, all the way still visible the ruins of the wall, standing alone in the Gobi desert!

Alas, it is really amazing to be able to see this trace of history. Think about the feeling of the Great Wall left behind by these things, which makes people very historical and precipitated. I think this is the thing China is most proud of.
A sense of vicissitudes arises. A free attraction, few people come, not far from the widest road in the center of Datong County, I walked there, although there are some tired, after all, more than 2,000 altitude, there is a feeling of crossing.
题图应该是假的,至少小石山到娘娘山一段最经典的城墙都是夯土的,没有石头的。关于大通明长城到底算不算长城,学界还有少部分争论,但目前主流观点是认为这就是明长城最西的一段。我个人是坚持认为这是长城的一段,因为它符合了长城的一些定义条件。很好的遗址景观,推荐可以去看看。我自小在那下面生活,无数次攀登过大通明长城,希望保护好。
非常不错,值得游玩,赞美一个。
