The Ancient Sanguan Great Wall
The Ancient Sanguan Great Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Ancient Sanguan Great Wall: In ancient times, it was called the "Western Pass Wall." Built in the tenth year of the Jiajing reign (1531), it stretches from Daba (now within the territory of Qingtongxia County) to Sanguankou (now west of Yinchuan City), spanning 40 kilometers. The Ancient Sanguan Great Wall was entirely constructed using rammed earth without an outer brick facing. Today, most of it remains well-preserved and is an important component of the world-renowned Ming Dynasty’s Great Wall.
