กก Juyongguan Great Wall
It had many different names in the past dynasties. However, the name 'Juyongguan Pass' was used by more than three dynasties. It was first used in the Qin Dynasty when Emperor Qinshihuang ordered to build the Great Wall. Juyongguan Pass has two passes, one at the south and one at the north. The south one is called 'Nan Pass' and the north one is called 'Badaling'. This Pass was connected to the Great Wall in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the middle of Juyongguan Pass, there is a 'Cloud Platform' with another name of 'Crossing Street Tower'. It was made of white marble in the Yuan Dynasty with a height of 9.5 meters. Around the top of the platform there are many architectures such as stone railings and a watching post. They are still kept in the style of the Yuan Dynasty. In the middle of the base of the platform there is an arched door where men, horses and carriages could pass through. Many animal images were carved in the arched hole and the arched door. On the walls of both sides of the door, the statues of gods and scriptures are carved. There were three white towers on the platform in the past (this is how it got the name of 'Crossing Street Tower') and were destroyed in the transitional period between the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Later a Tai'an Temple was built on the platform but was later destroyed in the Qing Dynasty. The present Pass was initially built in the Ming Dynasty and received much renovation later. It is a very important strategic place connecting the inner land and the area near the northern border of China. It is also a defensive place for the ancient Beijing City. So it is wanted by all the military parties. As there are lush flowers and trees around the Pass like layers of green waves, so it got the good name of 'Juyong Green Layers', which belongs to one of 'Yanjing Eight Best Sceneries'. กก More Introduction of the great wall of china: Great Wall in Beijing SiMaTai Great Wall SiMaTai Great Wall JianKou Great Wall MuTianYu Great Wall BaDaLing Great Wall Huanghuacheng great wall Juyong Guan Pass GuBeiKou Great wall Jinshanling great wall Underwater Great wall Great wall in North west China Wuwei Great Wall Great Wall at Hushan Dun Hua Great Wall Zhangye Great Wall Jiayu Pass Great Wall Yangguan Great Wall YanmenQuan Great Wall Yanmen Fortress great wall Shizuishan Great Wall Huang YaGuan great wall JiuQuan Great Wall WangXiaoTemple near great wall NiangziGuan pass Great wall in North east China Happy meeting fortress ShanHaiPass Great Wall Zhen Bei Tai Tower shimenzi Great wall Jiu MenKou Great Wall Pianguan pass Zijinguan Pass Great wall stories Why Build the great wall Lady Meng cry great wall Overhanging Great wall Ten brothers and the great wall Yang generals Special custom of Jiayu pass Wu SanHui and ChenYuanYuan wonder of the world beginning of the Great wall Magic of the Great wall Secrets of Great wall Great wall from space change of Great wall foreigner view of Great wall Great wall by radar Great wall again Map of Great wall |
