A starting point of the Great Wall
5

Introduction

1. In the fifth year of the Ming dynasty's Chenghua reign, the deputy general of Liaodong, Han Bin, oversaw the construction of the Hushan Great Wall, located at the eastern end of the Ming Great Wall, and is one of the historical relics. 2. The Hushan Great Wall was built using local materials such as mud, sand, and loess, and differs from other sections of the Great Wall, demonstrating a unique style of architecture. 3. The wall is located adjacent to the national border and standing atop the watchtower offers views of the daily lives of North Korean people. 4. At the "One Step Across" site, the Hushan Great Wall reaches the narrowest point of the Yalu River, with only a few meters in width, making it one of the closest points to North Korea. Tourists can take photos here as a souvenir.
