Owing to the need for renovation, the wall is regarded as one of the most dangerous sections of the Ming’s wall. For your safety, we are taking the path that is not dangerous but still breath-taking.

Although the majestic wall is slowly being dominated by little trees as well as brambles, the sight from the top is still stunning! Nevertheless, it is still pretty far from Zhengbeilou to be able to see "Ying Fei Dao Yang" plainly.
