Hebei
Lotus Pond Garden, Baoding, Hebei province, China.
The Great Wall of China traverses the northern portion of Hebei province, with additional sections located southwest of Beijing. The wall follows the crests of the Yan Mountains, which form the northern rim of the North China Plain.12
Notable points and sections of the wall within Hebei include:
- Shanhaiguan Pass: Located at Qinhuangdao in the east, this site was traditionally considered the eastern terminus of the wall along the coast of the Bo Hai.13
- Zijingguan Pass: Situated near Yixian in the western part of the province.1
These fortifications are part of the extensive system designated as a World Heritage site in 1987.13
