The actual length is 1.2 kilometers, so "meters" is just an error.
Restored or rebuilt Great Wall sections

_Very_ interesting information found here. The who wrote this is a kind of Great Wall scholar.
I try a rough translation for you guys (Item "Diskussion"): "In 2003 the amateur archeologist Li Yazhong investigated the Hushan section and came to the conclusion that the rubblestone section which did not show Ming type bricks is similar to the Great Wall of Yan in the Jianping district of Liaoning." Jianping: 41°23'49.00"N 119°38'21.31"E (HR imagery!) My impression of what I have seen in other maps is the same. This might be the most eastern section of any known Great Wall (if we do not take into account the possible/probable sections I found in North Korea) but not of the Ming Great Wall. The Ming Great Wall should run further north and reaching the Yellow Sea south of Hushan. Awful, what has been reconstructed at Hushan ... -chinoook
