Juyong pass - outpost of the Great Wall

Juyong pass - outpost of the Great Wall

One of the gates of the great wall, located 50 km (30 miles) northwest of Beijing.
It was an interior section of the great wall. The great Mongol leader Genghis Khan fought there.
NB : in the 13th century the fortifications were not as sturdy as they are nowadays (the lattest date back to the Ming Dynasty).
