Beijing Juyong Pass - Scenic Drive - Great Wall National Scenic Route - 4K

Juyong Pass (Chinese: 居庸关)
a mountain pass located in the Changping District of Beijing Municipality, over 50 kilometers (31 mi) from central Beijing. The Great Wall of China passes through, and the Cloud Platform was built here in the year 1342.
The pass had many different names during former Chinese dynasties. However, the name "Juyongguan" was used by more than three dynasties. It was first used in the Qin Dynasty when Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered the building of the Great Wall. Juyongguan pass was connected to the Great Wall in the Southern and Northern Dynasties era.
The present pass route was built in the Ming Dynasty and received much renovation later. It was a very important strategic place connecting the inner land and the area near the northern border of China. It was also used to defend the ancient city of Beijing.

I enjoyed this scenic drive into the mountains thanks. I spent a day at Mutianyu in 2015 and the Great Wall is truly a wonder to see and walk on.

Mutianyu has a much longer history and very beautiful scenery.
It will be a great memory.

@@DTRoadscape Yes the scenery all along the walk to the top was beautiful. I really love the mountains of China. The week I spent in Beijing was a great memory. I was lucky to have a week of beautiful weather there and see all the sights.
