The Great Wall of China

Part of the walls surrounding the pass town of Lengkouguan. These walls are faced with bricks contrary to the main Great Wall.

The Great Wall of China

From the cliffs on the norths side of the wall is an almost 100 meter vertical drop. Surely this would be difficult for the enemy to scale.

The Great Wall of China

The main wall is build with white stones and only the watch towers seems to have been faced with bricks.

Very well preserved section of the wall. Note that there seems to be no inner parapet here.
