กก ZhenBeiTai Tower
It is a four-storied square tower, 30 meters high, measuring 320 meters around its base. The four storeys decrease in size towards the top and between each storey there is a staircase to enable the soldiers to ascend to the top. There was a watch shed at the top of the tower from where the soldiers could receive and send signals but this collapsed during the Qing period. The tower has been well restored and is reputed to be "The First Tower of the Great Wall". A climb to the top provides visitors a panoramic view of the surrounding hills. The scene is one of desolation where vegetation is sparse and it is difficult to appreciate that this was once a scene of great activity. The deserts sands are slowly but surely swallowing up what little is left of the Wall. There are the ruins of two small fortresses near Zhen Bei Tai. They were both protection for market trading places during the Ming Dynasty. A walk of one kilometer to the southwest from Zhen Bei Tai will take you to another site to visit - Hong Shi Xia (Red Rock Gorges). Inscriptions on the cliff face are very attractive.

Hongshan, five kilometers north of Yulin City, stands the Zhen Bei Tai Tower.
This was built in 1607 during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) for the protection of
the Hongshan Market Place for it was here that Mongol and Han people met to
trade their goods.
