Suicheng (遂城)

[Kim]

Does anyone know something about the Great Wall around Suicheng (遂城): 39° 2'53.89"N 115°31'59.46"E ?

Supposedly there should be some Yan Dynasty Great Wall around there.

I get more or less the same from here: http://en.hebeitour.com.cn/heritage/?action=zjym&id=361

To bad GE only have low resolution images in this area. The picture I have show no green area next to the wall like the images on GE, so it might be another area or the area has changes since the date of the GE image.

I can go there and back in one day and still have time for a few hours visit, so maybe that's an idea for a future weekend trip

Maybe some useful information here:

The same thing could be said for China in general.
