金山岭长城
世人瞩目的金山岭长城是明长城最具有代表性的地段之一，位于河北省滦平县与北京市密云县交界处。始建于明洪武元年
（公元1368年），为大将徐达主持修建。隆庆元年（公元1567年）抗倭名将蓟镇总兵官戚继光、蓟辽总督谭纶在徐达所
建长城的基础上续建、改建。为全国重点文物保护单位、国家级风景区、一级旅游景点，并列入《世界文化遗产名
录》。
金山岭长城西起龙岭口，东止望京楼，全长10.5公里。沿线设有建筑各异的敌楼67座，烽燧二座，大小关隘五处，是
现保存最完好的一段明长城，被专家称之为明长城之精华。依山设险、凭水置塞，雄城起伏似钢墙铁壁。雕楼林立，如甲
兵护卫，“一夫当关，万夫莫开”。以其视野开阔，敌楼密集，建筑防御体系功能奇特而著称于世。国家领导多次到此视察
并给予了高度评价，“万里长城，金山独秀”多少专家无不为金山岭长城的精美设计而发出由衷的赞叹。
漫步于金山岭长城之上，可见到船蓬顶、四角钻天顶、八角藻井顶、穹窿顶等内部结构建筑形式各异的敌楼。军事防
御体系极强，设有障墙、战台、炮台、了望台、雷石孔、射孔、挡马墙、支墙、围战墙等，层层设防，可谓固若金汤。登
上金山岭长城倾心感受古长城的壮美与雄浑，便可体会一个民族的伟大与豪迈。
金山岭长城，一年四季变换着不同的景色供游人观赏。春到金山岭，满山遍野一片嫩绿，桃花、杏花、映山红、山丹
丹，以及各种不知名的野花，一丛丛，一簇簇，竞相开放，散发出浓郁的芳香；入夏，郁郁葱葱的树木，潺潺的山间溪
水，五颜六色的彩霞和雨后天空出现的彩虹，把金山岭长城打扮得绚丽多姿；金秋时节，长城内外，漫山红遍，层林尽
染，各种野果挂满枝头；严冬雪后，这里变成了银色的世界。蜿蜒起伏的长城，就象飘落在万山丛中的一条玉带，忽高忽
低，忽左忽右，忽隐忽现，那一座座敌楼，在阳光的映照下，就象镶在玉带上的一颗颗珍珠。
为深挖旅游资源，打造金山岭长城品牌，更好地服务于游人，满足多种游客的需求，景区内修建了长800米的旅游索
道一条。并建有卡丁车、速降等娱乐项目。为丰富金山岭长城夜间的娱乐活动，现又新建了3公里的夜长城。按着省、市
领导的指示，与京承公路相连4公里旅游路进行了拓宽翻新改造。
旅游向导：您可以乘坐缆车游览金山岭长城,下山时可体验一下快速滑落的感觉。“章鱼”、“疯狂巴士”、“卡丁车”、“飞
车冲浪”等五花八门的娱乐项目您可尽情参与。特色物产：这里盛产红果、栗子、榛子、野生酸枣等,您可以在景区附近买
到。服务设施：景区内服务设施完善,建有多处宾馆、餐馆及纪念品商店,食宿、购物都很方便。
金山岭长城必赏景观
著名的大、小金山楼，整个金山岭因为这两座姊妹楼而得名。史传，戚继光带领江浙3000多名士兵在此修筑长城，士兵
为寄托思念家乡之情，把家乡湛江江心岛金山亭的名字借用于此，金山岭长城也因此而得名。
金山岭长城，每逢高山峻岭或险要的地方，便筑一座突出墙外的敌楼。在这10多公里的长城上，供筑近百座敌楼。敌
楼与敌楼之间的距离，最短的不到60米，最长的不过200米。其密集程度，在我国万里长城上是罕见的。专家认为，这是
金山岭长城的一个突出的特点。敌楼大多数为双层，下层楼内有纵横六条砖砌拱道，十个券门，前后左右运兵自如；上层
楼有一个供守城士兵遮风避雨，站岗放哨用的砖砌小铺房。上下两层之间有石梯或砖梯相通。石梯和砖梯都设在隐蔽的角
落，不了解内情的人，难以寻找。每一座敌楼的四面墙上都有射击孔、瞭望孔，楼内能容纳六七十人。

Great Wall at Jinshanling - Jinshanling Changcheng -
Beijing, China 金山岭长城
Located in Hebei Province, this is the least visited and least spoiled of the Wall
sections near Beijing. Jin Shan Ling is 10km (6 1/4 miles) east of Gu Bei Kou
(Old Northern Pass), through which Qing royalty passed on the way to their
summer retreat at Chengde (Jehol). The Wall here is in good condition, as it
was a recent (after 1570) rebuild of an existing Ming wall, and construction
was overseen by the outstanding general, Qi Jiguang. The defensible pass,
whose heart lies to the west at Gu Bei Kou, was 27km (17 miles), stretching all
the way to Simatai in the east. Bricks are smaller, reflecting advances in wall-
building technique. The Wall features unusual circular towers and elaborate
defensive walls leading up to towers.Management dreams of tourist hordes --
a cable car has been built, along with gradually rusting amusements -- but the
remoteness of the site makes large-scale tourism unlikely. The walk to Simatai
is reason enough to visit. Besides being the starting point for a fantastic four-
hour hike to Simatai, Jinshanling also serves as one of the few sections of the
Great Wall on which you can camp overnight. A starry night here is a
gorgeous and unforgettable—go with a tour group such as Cycle China. Don't
forget to pack a piece of charcoal and paper to make rubbings of bricks that
still bare the stamp of the date they were made.
Visitor Information -- The ticket office (tel. 010/8402-4628) is open 24
hours. Admission is ¥50 ($6.65/£3.35).
Getting There -- Appealingly, Jin Shan Ling can be reached by train from the
Beijing Bei Zhan (North Railway Station), just north of the Xi Zhi Men metro
stop (201, exit A). A special tourist train for Gu Bei Kou, the L671 departs daily
from mid-April to October at 7:25am (2 1/2-hr. trip; ¥20/$2.65/£1.35). The rest
of the year, the slower L815, departing at 8am, will take you there (4-hr. trip;
¥10/$1.35/65p). Returning trains depart at 3:05pm and 4:15pm, respectively.
Walking down from the station, you can either find lodgings in the village of Gu
Bei Kou Hexi Cun, or take a minivan directly to the Wall (25-min. trip, ¥20/$2.65
/£1.35). From Xi Zhi Men bus station, some buses to Chengde (daily 6am-5:
30pm, about every 20 min.; 2 1/2-hr. trip; ¥46/$6.15/£3.05 for an Iveco or
similar) also pass the turnoff, where you face either a 6km (3 1/4-mile) hike or
haggling for a minivan (¥10/$1.35/65p).
Where to Stay -- Standard rooms start at ¥140 ($19/£9.35) in the dull but
clean Jin Shan Ling Binguan, to the right just inside the entrance of the wall.
Staying at one of the simple courtyard houses in Gu Bei Kou Hexi Cun, just
below the railway station, is a cheaper and more appealing option;
accommodations are usually ¥10 ($1.35/65p) per person, and home-cooked
meals are similarly priced.
Address: 130km (81 miles) NE of Beijing, 90km (56 miles) SW of Chengde
Phone: 031-4883-0222; 0138-3144-8986
Cost: : Y30; Y50 for overnight stays. If you hike to Simatai, you will have to
buy another Y5 ticket at the border.
Open: Daily 8-5
