Why Gubeikou

Gubeikou is one of the most important historical gateways, a key route between Beijing and the northeast region. It is the strongest and most majestic section of the Great Wall. It is the only section today that has preserved the best parts of the Great Wall's original appearance. The hike will be fascinating because you can see a human-made Great Wall that has survived hundreds of years of exposure to the elements.

The most famous building is the General's Tower and the unique 24-eye tower on the Great Wall. The three-hour hike along the wall will feel like a journey through history, like turning the pages of a tattered and yellowed time. Occasionally, you may find bricks with the words "Made in XX, the seventh year of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty" on them. They are silently surveying us with a surprised look in one corner of the wall.

The General's Tower in the Above Theme Picture.

This general tower is one of the most epic stories on the Great Wall of China. It is what you will pass by on the Gubeikou hike. The General Building is the place where military command organs are set up. It has experienced the bloody wind of the national war of resistance. From ancient to modern wars, especially in the famous Great Wall War in 1933, the most fierce battle between the Chinese army and the Japanese invaders was the General Building.

The entire Gubeikou Great Wall has not been repaired in modern times. It has a sense of vicissitudes, and the broken walls and bullet holes make people feel like they are in the era of war. In the setting sun, people shed tears.

Gubeikou Great Wall is 2.5 hours from Beijing and sits between Jiankou and Jinshanling.

Hiking the Historic Wall for Three Hours

Between the General's Tower to the 24-eyed Tower for 10 km and 3 hrs

We'll start from the General's Tower and head east toward Jingshanling. In 1933, the Chinese army fought against Japanese invasion troops in Gubeikou. In the four-month-long battles, over 5,000 Japanese soldiers died, while 9,000 Chinese soldiers sacrificed their lives. It was terrific that the ancient Wall is not merely a relic but remained a battlefield in the modern world. The General's Tower was the headquarters of the Chinese defense force.

We'll finally reach the 24-eyed Tower. It was the last enemy building on the Great Wall's eastern side, echoing the famous General's Tower during the war. It has three upper and lower floors, three arrow windows around the first two floors, and battlements around the top floor. The 24-eye building with 24 viewing holes is a rare treasure in the history of Great Wall architecture. Despite only one wall left, the tower is spectacular, a bit like the ancient Roman Coliseum! The twenty-four-eye building is also the end of the Great Wall section of the Gubeikou, from where we'll make a U-turn back to the General's Tower to end today's adventure.
