    "The nearly three hours of companionship and meticulous explanation in the Summer Palace, and even the detailed analysis of the structure of the pillar and the origin of the car and the small story that has happened in the Cixi, the most impressive is the story behind the small stone in the middle of the road and the story of the small stone. The big role played, the details reflect the history and culture of Mr. Ma's deep heritage and love for the cause! I am so lucky to listen to Mr. Ma's sincere and delicate explanation, wide and careful, Sansheng is fortunate! Looking forward to the next meeting!"

The Great Wall is seven or eight meters high and four or five meters wide at the top. The building material is mainly granite, which is majestic and solid. The Mutianyu Great Wall has dense watchtowers. There are 22 watchtowers in the 2,250-meter section of the Great Wall that is currently open.

This dense distribution of watchtowers is not available in other Great Walls.Great Wall Climbing Route ReferenceMost tourists hike up the Great Wall along the Climbing Trail. There are two trails in the Attraction, starting from the north and south ticket gates. From the north ticket gate, you can walk to the 10th and 8th steps of the Great Wall; from the south ticket gate, you can walk to the 8th and 6th steps of the Great Wall. The two trails are similar in distance, about 1,500 meters. If you don't want to consume too much energy on the trail, you can choose to take the cable car next to the north ticket gate. The cable car station is near the 14th step.The currently open section of the Mutianyu Great Wall is about 2,250 meters long. At the southeast end is the first large corner tower of Mutianyu. Going northwest, you can reach the No. 4 platform (Zhengguan Platform) to see the unique structure of three watchtowers standing on one platform.

    "Open at 7:30, and the Panda Hall opens at 8 o'clock. Menglan is limited to time, and other pandas are unlimited. There is no bathroom in the panda hall, and the tickets are disposable. You can see Menglan before 7:30. Menglan may go back to sleep after cooking at 8:30, and I don't know when to come out again."

    "Dazhao Temple in Hohhot, beautiful architectural structure, staggered light and shadow, exquisite craftsmanship, plus blue sky and white clouds, is a blockbuster. As the earliest Tibetan Buddhist Gelu temple in the architectural era of Inner Mongolia, Dazhao Temple was revered as the "Huang Temple" in the Qing Dynasty. Because Emperor Shunzhi of Qing Dynasty had stayed here, Emperor Kangxi also lived here for a few days, and cast a plaque of "Long live the emperor" for the silver Buddha statue in the hall, in order to show respect for the emperor, and since then the reincarnation regulations of the living Buddha have been cancelled here. It has become a rare temple in Mongolia without living Buddhas, and the main temple of the temple has been replaced with yellow glazed tiles. #Little Don't Look at the World #Inner Mongolia"

    Highlights: Ih Juu Temple in downtown Hohhot was built in the 8th year of the Ming Emperor Wanli (1580) by Altan Khan, the leader of the Mongolian Tümed. The temple belongs to the Gelug (or Yellow) School of Tibetan Buddhism. Priceless cultural relics not to be missed on a visit to Ih Juu Temple include a silver statue of the Buddha Sakyamuni, the dragon columns and the colorful wall murals. The pure silver statue of the Buddha Sakyamuni in the temple’s main hall weighs 1,500kg. Immediately in front of the Buddha Sakyamuni are two golden dragons entwined around the columns, aptly named the Dragon Columns. Because the murals were painted with mineral-based colors, the colors remain bright and vibrant even today. The murals’ content is mostly classical stories from Buddhist scripture.
