What are the "eight passes" of the Great Wall?
1. Shanhaiguan-Known as the first pass in the world, it is located at the junction of Hebei Province and Liaoning Province, and stands above the "neck of the Great Wall of Wan Li". Jiao Shan, a branch of Yanshan Mountain in the north, faces the vast Bohai Sea in the south, with beautiful scenery and mountains and seas. When the weather is clear, climb high and overlook, and the magnificent and beautiful scenery of mountains and seas is spectacular. Shanhaiguan got its name from this.

2. Zijingguan-located on Zijing Mountain in Yixian County, Hebei Province. So it is surrounded by bauhinia trees, hence the name.

3. Juyongguan-Located in Changping District, Beijing. Built in the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, it is also known as the "inner three customs" with Zijingguan and Daomaguan. After its completion, it was named Juyongguan.

4. Niangziguan, formerly known as Weizeguan, is located in the northeast of Pingding County, Yangquan City, Shanxi Province. It is a famous pass on the Great Wall and is called the ninth pass of the Great Wall in Wan Li. Guancheng is located on a cliff, commanding, Taohe River bends from southwest to northeast and flows around Guancheng. The mountains and valleys here are deep and the situation is dangerous. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

5. Yanmenguan-located in a canyon in the northern suburb of Daixian County, Shanxi Province. Because the peaks on both sides of the pass are steep and straight into the sky, the geese can't fly from here, so they have to fly down the canyon and cross before the pass. Hence the name.

6. Piantouguan-located in Pianguan County, Shanxi Province. Piantou County is called Piantou Pass because of its rugged terrain, high east and low west, and skewed county seat.

Jiayuguan is the starting point of the western end of the Great Wall in Wan Li in Ming Dynasty. It is the most spectacular and well-preserved ancient military castle along the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty. It is an important military fortress along the Great Wall in Ming Dynasty and later generations. Known as "great defense at home and abroad" and "the first pass in Hexi". Guancheng was founded in the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1372), lasted for 168, and was completed in A.D. 1540. Jiayuguan Guancheng is surrounded by mountains and waters, guarding the canyon area about15km wide from north to south, and the Qiu Lai Valley in the south of the canyon constitutes a natural barrier for customs clearance. Beacon docks crisscross Jiayuguan, and there are 66 docks in Guancheng, east, west, north, south and northeast. Jiayuguan is a natural terrain with both offensive and defensive capabilities. It forms a strict military defense system with the nearby Great Wall, city platform, moat, beacon tower and other facilities, and is also known as "the first male pass in the world".

8. Yumenguan, the last pass of the Great Wall in Wan Li, is located in the west of Dunhuang City, Gansu Province. Ancient jade was produced in Hotan, Xinjiang, and was transported to the mainland through this pass, so it was called Yumenguan.
