Ruins of the Qi Great Wall

The Ruins of the Qi Great Wall is a cultural tourism attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Guide   On flat ground, the Qi Great Wall was built with rammed earth, while on mountains it was constructed from stone blocks. The wall generally stands 5 meters high and 2.5 meters thick. Inside the wall there is a horse path for defending troops, 4 meters high and 2 meters wide. Beneath the horse path, stone houses were built along the wall to house soldiers.    Highlights   The Qi Great Wall is one of the earliest-built long walls in Chinese history and a great ancient architectural project. In Mount Tai, about 10 kilometers of the wall ruins remain, and from the intermittent remains of the wall foundations, the grandeur of the past can still be faintly seen.    Introduction   Built 2,500 years ago, the Qi Great Wall lies atop Dafeng Mountain, approximately 50 kilometers northwest of Mount Tai. It was a defensive structure constructed by the State of Qi during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Stretching over 500 kilometers in total, it starts from Pingyin in the west and extends to Xiaozhushan in Jiaoxian County in the east, where it meets the Yellow Sea. The wall connects hundreds of mountains including Mount Tai, Mount Lu, and Mount Yi, forming a southern barrier for the State of Qi.    Transportation   Buses traveling from Tai’an to Jinan via National Highway 104 pass by.    Ticket/Opening Hours   15 yuan
