The autumn scenery of the Great Wall is picturesque

The Great Wall in Hebei during autumn has a unique charm. The ancient bricks and stones intertwine with the brilliant red leaves, and under the golden sunlight, the Great Wall winds like a giant dragon through the mountains, majestic and extraordinary. Every frame looks as beautiful as wallpaper. About 3 kilometers north of Shanhaiguan City lies Jiaoshan, a must-visit spot. At an altitude of 519 meters, the broad summit of Jiaoshan can accommodate hundreds of people and is named for its towering rocks that resemble a dragon’s head wearing horns. This place combines mountains, the wall, and temples in one, with distinctive attractions such as Jiaoshan Great Wall, Hanmen Pass, and Qixian Temple. Climbing the Jiaoshan Great Wall offers breathtaking views of distant mountains and nearby sea; Hanmen Pass is strategically important and a key pass of Shanhaiguan; the “Mountain Temple After Rain” phenomenon inside Qixian Temple is truly amazing—while light rain falls below the mountain, the temple may be clear and bright with the red sun hanging high. Come to Jiaoshan to feel the grandeur of the Great Wall, experience the wonder of the mountain temple, and enjoy a feast for both the eyes and the soul!
