At the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain, Baiyangyu Valley in Qian'an, Hebei Province, with the Millennium Great Wall as its backbone, carries the memory of the wars of Chinese civilization and the endless spiritual totem. The marble Great Wall here dates back to the Warring States Period. The stone city wall stretches across the ridge. After being reinforced with bricks during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, its double water passes, Shenwei Tower and Lie City constitute the pinnacle of ancient China's military defense system. The Baiyang River flows through the pass, and sweet springs surge 500 meters above and below the Shuiguan, creating the wonder of the only dual-channel water city in the Great Wall that also has combat and defense functions. The heroic shouts echoing in the ancient battlefield, With the passage of time and space, this majestic and dangerous pass that once allowed "one man to guard the pass and ten thousand men not to open it" has experienced the war of resistance against Japan and the changes of the times, and now it has become a vivid footnote of rural revitalization. Baiyangyu Village has become a 4A-level scenic spot integrating historical and cultural display and ecological tourism relying on the Great Wall Cultural Tourism to engage in tourism. The former military lie city has become a coordinate for tourists to explore history. The fortifications on the slopes and trenches have become a living teaching material for study tours. The Shenwei Tower has survived four hundred years of wind and rain and is still majestic, complementing the clear water and green shade of the modern leisure park. With their iron will, the people of Qian'an have transformed the tenacity of their ancestors in guarding the mountains and rivers into the consciousness of protecting the roots of civilization, making the Marble Great Wall not only a defensive miracle in the cold weapon era, but also a golden business card for the integrated development of culture and tourism in the new era. From the spark of civilization of the Yellow Emperor tribe to the inheritance of benevolence and morality of Guzhu Kingdom, from the generosity of Yanzhao to the rise of one of the top 100 counties in the world, every brick of Baiyangyu tells the story of the rich history of this land, which is an eternal monument forged by the blood and sweat of the people.
