Photos of Nine-Gate Water Great Wall

Located in the suburb of Suizhong County and at the junction of Liaoning and Hebei Provinces, the Nine-Gate Water Great Wall was built in the Northern Qi Dynasty and later expanded in 1381. It is connected to the Great Wall in the direction of Shanhaiguan Pass in the south and extends northward to the Jiujiang River where a 100-meter (328-feet) cross-river bridge stands. It was named after the nine water drainage gates under the city bridge. Here, you can take the city bridge to visit this unique ancient military fortress and enter the Great Wall tunnel to explore the military facilities built in the cave. You can also climb the ruins of the Great Wall on the ridge to look around; the scenery of the mountains, city walls and beacon towers is majestic.
