Photos of Zhenbei Terrace

Zhenbeitai is located on the top of Hongshan Mountain in the north of Yulin City. It is about 7 kilometers away from Yulin City and about 2 kilometers away from the scenic spot Hongshi Gorge. Many tourists visit these two scenic spots on the same day. Zhenbeitai was originally an observation post of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the place where Mongolian and Han people negotiated. This is the largest existing beacon tower in the ancient Great Wall. Zhenbei Terrace, built in 1607 AD, is the witness of the border gate "Mongolian and Han family, peaceful mutual market". Immediately below Taipei, there is a small square brick city called "King Gong City". It was the place where Mongolian and Han officials received and negotiated and held tribute ceremonies. The newly built "Great Wall Museum" is also under the stage. The museum is mainly based on pictures, and there are some cultural relics on display. Visitors can pay more attention to the "Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth" five-element wall tiles. Tourists can visit here before going on the stage to play, so that they can have a general understanding of the historical situation of the scenic spot and the surrounding landforms. The Zhenbeitai that tourists see today is the newly renovated Zhenbeitai, with less historical vicissitudes, but when you board the Zhenbeitai, which is about four stories high, you can still feel the relics of the beacon tower in the distance. to its majesty and the vastness of the surrounding land. Standing on the high Zhenbei Terrace, a few kilometers to the south is the ancient city of Yulin, and to the north is the legendary desert outside the Great Wall. To the east and west of Zhenbeitai is the Ming Great Wall. If the weather is clear, you can vaguely see the ruins of six beacon towers. Many tourists will visit Zhenbeitai together with the surrounding Hongshi Gorge. It is recommended to visit Hongshi Gorge first and then go to Zhenbeitai. After the tour, you can take bus No. 11 directly back to Yulin City before entering Zhenbeitai.
