#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

Tiger Mountain (Hushan) Great Wall is a restored section of the eastern end of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall, well known for the breathtaking views of the surrounding forestry and landscape. This particular section is located in a small village named Hushan in Kuandian County, Liaoning Province. It was built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and overlooks the Yalu River which served as an important natural land barrier. Main purpose then was to protect against invasion by Mongol forces and Jurchen tribes to the north, Japanese from the northeast as well Korean attacks from the south. Highlights of the visit : - Breathtaking scenery and panoramic views of North Korea across the Yalu River. - Explore 12 gate towers, and see some Ming-style buildings. - The highest peak of Hushan Great Wall is a beacon / observaton tower. From there, you can overlook North Korea. - The Great Wall History Museum onsite is worth a visit if you wish to find out more about the Hushan section and the rest of the Great Wall. As this Is a much less crowded section of the Great Wall compared to other locations, you can have more space to take awesome shots and uninterrupted selfies ! Note : Steps are steep and narrow so do wear proper attire and shoes. Take some rest and water break along the way. Your climb to the top may take several hours but the scenic views are certainly worth it. #historicalsites #greatwallofchina #hushan

This lesser known Great Wall is more manageable to hike as it is not as long as the one in Beijing. Being lesser known, it also means lesser tourist, making the trip more enjoyable. What’s unique about this scenic spot is you can see North Korea from above, and there is a spot here that is literally one foot away from North Korean territory, but you can’t step or take photos in that spot. Don’t forget to eat authentic North Korean food when you are in the city. #newphotographer#travelinspiration#unforgettableexperiences#awesomepic#historicculture#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Dandong, Liaoning is the main border crossing between China and North Korea. A popular attraction is the broken bridge, bombed on the Korean side by the United States during the Korean War. You can walk to the end of what's left and gaze across to Sinujiu in the Hermit Kingdom. A river cruise is another way to get a good view of the Korean side. Dandong was also the end of the Great Wall of China during the Ming Dynasty. The heavily restored wall is another excellent place to look into Korea, as it's close to the modern border. Though the border is currently closed due to Covid, organized tours of North Korea ordinarily leave from Dandong, including day tours of Sinujiu and train journeys to Pyongyang. #LeaveYourMark #urbanexplorer #LightTheCity #Dandong #Liaoning #China #Korea #NorthKorea #GreatWall #GreatWallofChina #bridge

I accidentally climbed a mountain to see the maple leaf travel always has a variety of accidents called travel fun, just like this time according to the scheduled hotel address, only after discovering is another attraction, so When you are searching for hotels near attractions, remember to use your own navigation to see if the address is right h There is only a general idea about where to go before, and whether you must go to an attraction without much attachment! This way you can experience more in your travels! Danshui City, Dandong City, Kuandian Manchu Autonomous County, irrigation town 80 yuan can take the cable car down the mountain, up the mountain is a must go! Red glass slide 35 yuan! There is a section down the mountain to take the glass slide! climbing difficulty index to the top of the mountain peak climbing mountain climbing takes 3 hours is enough, relatively steep, many 90 degrees need to climb the chain to climb up, so be sure to bring Gloves can be slip resistant and warm! A lot of door sales, 3 yuan a pair! I dont recommend climbing people because of the steep slopes the scenery along the way The best season in mid-October to early November Maple Leaf is the pride of Tianhua Mountain. It is lined up from the valley. It is the colorful, layered maple forest, red, yellow, green, orange and purple. It is enchanting all the way.

Strolling on the Broken Bridge of the Yalu River, the river breeze carries the scent of gunpowder, and the steel plates underfoot still bear the bullet holes left by the war 70 years ago. That year, 2,600 Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers crossed the river from here, but never returned home... 🌉 Past of the Broken Bridge This iron bridge, built by the Japanese in 1909, was once the "First Railway Bridge" connecting China and Korea. In November 1950, the US military dispatched over a hundred sorties to bomb and destroy it. The remains of the broken bridge we see today, every scar tells the story of those war-torn years. Under the setting sun, gazing at Sinuiju on the opposite bank, one can almost hear the melody of "My Motherland" echoing across the river. It is said that the soldiers went to the front lines singing this very song. 🏰 Exploring Hushan Great Wall Climbing to the Hushan section, the easternmost point of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall, I was surprised to find that the bricks here were stacked at an angle! Locals told me that this was a special "horse-face wall" built by Ming Dynasty craftsmen to defend against Jurchen cavalry – its outwardly slanting and inwardly straight structure made it impossible for enemy soldiers to gain a foothold when climbing. Standing on the watchtower and looking into the distance, the Yalu River winds like a jade belt, no wonder this place is known as the "First View of the Great Wall". 🚂 Time at Andong Old Street Stepping into the well-preserved former site of "Andong County Town", the Russian-style architectural complex from 1904 is striking. The "King of Korean Cold Noodles" on the old street has been passed down for three generations. The silver-haired 'Amoni' will tell you in an authentic Pyongyang accent: "Our family uses elm bark flour, and the recipe has been passed down since wartime!" 🌄 Night Talk at Jinjiangshan Park One evening, while overlooking the entire city from Jinjiangshan, I chanced upon an elderly model aircraft enthusiast. He pointed to Silk Island in the middle of the river and said: "In 1951, our MiG Alley was right here!" It turns out this peaceful river surface was once the battlefield for the world's first jet aircraft aerial combat. The old man comes here every week to fly his fighter jet models, saying he's doing it for his old comrades-in-arms to see today's peaceful scene.

Visiting great wall in China has been my childhood dream. I visited Hushan Great Wall around 8.00am on a Friday. Tip: If you visit around that time, you will see/hear NK military practice. Only a few people were there around that time. As a female solo traveller, I recommend it as a safe place to visit. Take enough water or a coffee and take rests at stairs.

#ChinaTravelMoment Shenyang and Dandong, China Shenyang, China is the former capital of the Qing Dynasty, and the palace remains from before it was moved to Beijing. You can feel a strong sense of returning to the past by looking at the early Qing Dynasty-style palace and young people taking pictures in Qing Dynasty costumes. Dandong, China is within easy reach of Shenyang by high-speed rail. The Yalu River Bridge, which still bears the scars of the Korean War, and the sight of North Korea that seems close enough to touch from the bridge make you feel the reality of a divided country. The Hosan Great Wall, which departs by bus from Dandong Train Station every hour (about 40 minutes), is a light trekking course where you can see the Sinuiju spread out right in front of you from the closest distance.
