Embark on an Epic Journey at DanDong's Hushan Great Wall

Nestled at the eastern terminus of the Ming Dynasty's Great Wall, the Hushan Great Wall, erected in the fifth year of Chenghua, stands as a testament to the strategic vision of Han Bin, the Deputy Commander of Liaodong. Diverging from traditional materials, this segment of the Great Wall is uniquely constructed using locally sourced sandy loam and yellow earth.

Key Features:

  1. Historical Marvel: Built in the 15th century, the Hushan Great Wall holds historical significance, marking the eastern commencement of the Ming Dynasty's vast defensive structure.

  2. Distinct Construction: Departing from conventional brickwork, this section ingeniously employs mud and sandy soil, showcasing a departure from traditional building methods.

  3. Border Proximity: Situated adjacent to the national border, ascend the watchtower to witness scenes of daily life in North Korea, offering a rare glimpse into the routines of the Korean people.

  4. "One Step Across": Experience the narrowest point at the "One Step Across" scenic spot, where the river marking the border is just a few meters wide, making it the closest vantage point to North Korea. Capture the moment with captivating photographs.
