It was a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties, and Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the customs. The first and second direct service wars; The first shot of the Great Wall in the Anti-Japanese War ... It was once a tragic scene of war and smoke.

It winds its way to the vast Yuan Ye, to the rolling distant mountains ... Shanhaiguan, the leader of the Great Wall after countless storms, stands in front of us now. Approached, I saw tall blue-gray city walls and majestic towers, and I saw an ancient and tragic history.
