Photographer’s Note
The Huangyaguan Great Wall is 28 kilometers north of Ji county. Originally built in Tianbao 7th of Beiqi (557 A D), the Huangyanguan was repaired for the first time in Ming Dynasty with bricks and for the second time in 1985. In 1986 it was listed as a key relics protection target of Tianjin city. Now it is also chosen as a patriotic education and national defense education base of Tianjin.
With various forms of water towers presented along the walls, and the largest tower of the Great Wall “Phoenix Tower” and the most unique “Baguaguan Castle”, Huangyaguan Great Wall is like a library of the Great Wall.
By now 3025 meters of the Huangyaguan Great Wall, 20 water towers and a water pass have been repaired.
