Tiger Mountain Great Wall

#falltrip The Great Wall of China extends over a vast stretch of the country, and a section of the Great Wall can be found in Dandong, a city located in Liaoning Province in northeastern China. The section of the Great Wall in Dandong is known as the "Hushan Great Wall" or "Tiger Mountain Great Wall." It's perched on Hushan Mountain, which offers panoramic views of the Yalu River and North Korea, which is just across the Yalu River's waters. The Hushan Great Wall is an important part of China's historical defense system. It dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and served as a strategic fortification along the northern border to defend against invasions. Dandong itself is known for its cultural and historical attractions, including the Yalu River Broken Bridge, which was bombed during the Korean War, and the Friendship Bridge, a symbol of the connection between China and North Korea. But more about that in another post. #spintheworld #wecreate #trip
