Beichakou Great Wall

　　    Yue Fei left the timeless line “Ride the long chariot, crush through the Helan Mountain pass” in his poem “Man Jiang Hong,” which is engraved along the history of the Helan Mountains. At the southern foot of the Helan Mountains, at Dakou, the ancient Beichakou Great Wall that has borne centuries of history now stands amidst rows of wind turbines, like meteors streaking through time and space. The modern Helan Mountain Wind Farm blends with the ancient beacon towers of the Great Wall to create a unique scenic vista.

　　    The Beichakou Great Wall is located on the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains in Qingtongxia. The terrain is complex, and the mountainous area is rugged, making it a longstanding military stronghold. The Great Wall was built along the contours of the mountains, featuring a unique structure. It is one of the best-preserved sections of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall in Ningxia to date. On both sides of the wall’s beacon towers, the Helan Mountain Wind Farm has been constructed.
