3. Is this route crowded?

Most of our routes are natural and niche, with relatively small traffic. Of course, it also depends on the registration situation of each session.

Stonehenge Great Wall

Located on the west side of Huhai Village, Laiyuan County, Baoding, there is a section of the Great Wall composed of huge stone formations hidden in the deep mountains. It is magnificent, majestic and rugged, and is named "Stonehenge Great Wall". This section of the Great Wall was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty under the supervision of Qi Jiguang. It belongs to the outer defense line of Zijing Pass and is the last barrier to protect Kyoto. It has a history of more than 400 years and is part of the Inner Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. This section of the Great Wall is also a relatively original section of the Ming Great Wall and belongs to the white-letter section of the Great Wall in Laiyuan. It is rarely visited. The Stonehenge is composed of several giant rocks and rises from the ground on the top of the mountain. The rough and primitive Great Wall winds in front of the stone formation, forming a unique landscape on the ridge.
