Han GW south of Yumenguan
On my recent walk from Yangguan to Yumenguan I took some photographs of the Han wall:
Three very rarely vistited towers:      Easy to identify as a wall of Han Dynasty?  All three lines visible here:  Only one of the three items visible here.  A very much decayed tower. Without clear evidence from close up one would not be able to identify this.  The double structure and a distant beacon tower.

. It is hard to understand how low the wall is compared to the wall near Yumenguan.
