Juyongguan Great Wall: Historical Charm and Wisdom of the Ancients, The Most Unforgettable Spot in Beijing's Self-Guided Tour

As a travel enthusiast, I have always dreamed of visiting the Great Wall of China in person. For this self-guided tour in Beijing, I decided to focus on the Great Wall instead of just taking a quick glance and leaving as I did before. After searching for a lot of information online, I chose the Juyongguan Great Wall in the suburbs of Beijing as the highlight of this trip. Upon arriving at Juyongguan, I was deeply impressed by the sight before me. The Great Wall winds through the rugged mountains, exuding grandeur. I climbed the wall slowly, feeling the historical charm of each brick with every step. After reaching the top, I gazed into the distance and saw the endless Great Wall winding through the mountains, like a majestic dragon lying there. This feeling of being immersed in history is truly indescribable. During the climb, I also learned about the long history of Juyongguan. It has been recorded since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and is one of China's nine major passes. It was officially incorporated into the Great Wall's construction system during the Northern Wei Dynasty, becoming an important military fortress in the northwest of Beijing. Walking along the beacon tower ruins on the Great Wall, I could almost feel the determination and courage of the soldiers who guarded the frontier back then. Moreover, I was also impressed by the restoration work of the Great Wall. Watching the workers restore the crumbling wall brick by brick, I couldn't help but pay my respects to their hard work. Thinking about the craftsmen who built the Great Wall back then, they must have also put in unimaginable effort and sweat. Overall, this personal visit to the Juyongguan Great Wall gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation of China's long history and culture. Standing in front of this majestic ancient structure, I felt the wisdom and perseverance of the ancients and cherished the opportunity to experience this history firsthand. This is undoubtedly the most unforgettable experience of this trip to Beijing.
