Basic introduction to Yanmen Pass
Yanmen Pass is located about 30 kilometers northwest of Dai County in Xinzhou. It is a pass on the Great Wall line in the Ming Dynasty. There is no public transportation from Dai County to the scenic spot, so you can only charter a car to go there. Traveling within the scenic area is entirely done on foot. Yanmen Pass has been an important pass for the Central Plains Dynasty to resist the invasion of northern nomads since ancient times. The earliest history here can be traced back to the Warring States Period when King Wuling of Zhao fought against the Huns here; the famous Han Dynasty generals Li Guang, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing once led their troops to fight against the Huns here; During the Northern Song Dynasty, Yanmen Pass became the main battlefield for the confrontation between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty. The prototype of the well-known story of the Yang family happened here. There is also a statue of Yang Liulang in the scenic area.
The existing Yanmen Pass was built in the seventh year of Hongwu (1374) in the Ming Dynasty (it has been rebuilt in many places in recent years). There are currently three gates (East Gate, West Gate, and Xiaobei Gate). There is a wild goose tower built on the gate, and the three characters "Yanmen Pass" are engraved on the forehead of the small north gate (that is, the Wengcheng Gate). Couplets are inlaid with bricks on both sides: Three sides rush to the unparalleled ground. Jiuzhai respects the first pass. It was written by Fu Shan, a great calligrapher in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. You can visit the former site of the barracks of the Ming and Qing Dynasties on the hill just north of Guancheng. On the right side outside the west gate is the Imperial Temple, and on the east side outside the east gate is the Jingbian Temple, which worships Li Mu, a famous general of the Zhao State during the Warring States Period. There are some farmhouses and inns near Yanmenguan Scenic Area that can provide food and accommodation, but most tourists return to Dai County or stay in other counties and cities. Walking the ancient pass road consumes a lot of energy, so you can bring some dry food and drinking water with you.
