Default Is this a Great Wall remnant?

Is this a Great Wall remnant? If so it would mean the Mapquest map is very accurate, even in Liaoning.

Looks natural to me also

Here's my findings in Liaoning, which is in accordance with at map of Xingcheng I have:

Except trek no 13 they are all far from MapQuest, however I also have most doubt about trek no 13.

The treks also show a few possible watch/beacon towers.

Are there beacon towers?

I added the paths to our masterfile.

Incredible. I never dared to wish to find any Liaoning Great Wall information and you deliver this! Incredible. All locations are in the master file in a folder named "Kims possible watchtowers". You surely will find better names and nomenclature.
