Top places to visit

1. 4.5 Great Wall-Yanmenguan Section (20 reviews)
   - The pass is rebuilt and new, but there is an earth wall north of it
   Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Historic Sites
   
   
   We came down from Datong and our driver stopped short of the pass and stopped and showed us a section of earth wall. It is unrestored and free. It is easy to walk bits of it and you really can imagine the hordes coming down here. Well worth a visit. The pass itself is rebuilt and quite interesting, but no feeling of history for me.

2. 4.5 Yanmenguan Pass (9 reviews)
   - Remote Chinese style Castle
   Monday: 8:00 AM - 7:30 PM Architectural Buildings
   
   
   Yanmenguan Pass is the location of one of the most important fortresses in the Great Wall of China. Surounded by tall mountans peks and accessible only by an ancient road which works its way between the cliffs, this pass was the logical invasion point for foreigners (especially Mongolians) looking to pour into China. Over a 2000 year period, over 130 major battles took place at this strategically important mountain bottleneck. This sight is usually listed near Wutai Shan, which you already cover. As with the other applications, I'm happy to promptly provide a good description if this is accepted as a new sight by TripAdvisor. Thanks for your kind consideration of all of these requests. Shanxi is one of the most history-laden provinces in China, and I'd like to help you cover it better. ShanxiFan / Heather. See more..
