The Shixiaguan Great Wall, a well-preserved section of the Great Wall in suburban Beijing near the well-known Badaling section opened to visitors in June, 2000.

The Shixiaguan section of the Great Wall is five kilometers from famous Badaling, which has received some 100 million visitors over the past two decades.

"We did little rebuilding on the Shixiaguan section, because we want visitors to see the real Great Wall ruin with its original look," said Zhang Liuquan, deputy director of the Beijing Badaling Special Zone.

The new section has a total land area of 2 sq. km.

Shixiaguan is often misspelled "Shixiguan".
