Juhuguan Great Wall



Juhuguan Great Wall is situated about 2 miles to the north of Ming Great Wall at Fangkou Village, Ruiyunguan Village, Huailai District of Hubei Province. In fact, Juhuguan Great Wall is a gateway to the west of Juyongguan Great Wall Beijing. Juyongguan used to be a popular site for great wall tour in Beijing. 

The citadines shinjuku tokyo of Juhuguan Great Wall was constructed by using bricks on top with stone at the bottom. According to the history, this section was originally built in Ming Dynasty for military purpose.
It was said that there is a plague at one of the village house with Chinese characters of Juhuguan on it. Therefore, this great wall section is named as Juhuguan. However, there is too limited information about the origin of name for this great wall. Thus, there are still some conflicts regarding the exact name of the great wall.

We spent almost three hours up here. The weather turned cold in minutes. I may suggest the Beijing travel agency to add some wild great wall sections into the daily itinerary for the tours camping rather than any other luxury hotels as grand arc hanzomon
