'New Guangwu') is a village in Zhangjiazhuang Township (张家庄乡), Shanyin County, Shanxi, China.

[3] The village was built as a fortification during the Ming dynasty in 1374 on the site of a settlement that had existed during the Warring States period.

[4] New Guangwu is to the north of the Yanmen Pass, one of the strategic defensive points of the inner line running through Shanxi of the Ming Great Wall.

[5] The village area played a vital part in the defense system around the Yanmen Pass because due to the site's location New Guangwu was first attacked by nomadic raiders coming from the north.

[citation needed] Visitors to the village typically stop by on a trek along the nearby section of the Great Wall.
