Jinshanling

Jinshanling (simplified Chinese: 金山岭; traditional Chinese: 金山嶺; pinyin: Jīnshānlǐng) is a section of the Great Wall of China located in the mountainous area in Luanping County, Chengde, Hebei Province, 125 km (78 miles) northeast of Beijing.

Jinshanling was built from 1570 CE during the Ming dynasty.

[citation needed] The Jinshanling section of the Great Wall is 10.5 km (6.5 miles) long[1] with 5 passes, 67 towers and 3 beacon towers.

The initial section of the wall has been restored to original condition, but the condition of the wall deteriorates towards its natural state as it approaches Simatai.

A cable car (40 RMB) has been constructed to take visitors to the highest point along the wall.
