## About Jiumenkou Great Wall

Known as the "Water Great Wall," Jiumenkou Great Wall lies in Suizhong County, Liaoning Province, 15 km from Shanhaiguan. It is 1,704 metres long and is an important pass of the Ming Great Wall, which is why it is also called the "First Pass East of Beijing." Here you will find steep mountains, winding rivers and distinctive architecture. Across the Jiujiang River, which is over 100 metres wide, stone slabs pave a riverbed of 7,000 square metres. From afar it looks like a continuous stone pass, which is why Jiumenkou is also called "Yipianshi" (One Stone Pass). In 2002 Jiumenkou Great Wall became the only heritage site in the Northeast to be granted World Cultural Heritage status, making it a new favourite for Great Wall tours. A newly built rare bird sightseeing park is also located within the scenic area.
