Like Juyongguan Great Wall (Juyongguan Pass Great Wall)<\/span>,<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Moshikou Pass (or Xiangshuihu Great Wall)\u00a0is also an important pass or fort in the Ming Dynasty Great Wall in Huairou District, about 80km north of Beijing center. “Moshikou” literally means a stone polished by the\u00a0flowing water\u00a0in\u00a0the narrow pass.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The pass\u00a0was a strong military bulding. The pass building also had an inner city, so the fort\u00a0had two passes, hence “shuang guan” – double passes. The fort was built in\u00a01404. In 1973,\u00a0a dam was built here 33 mters high and 112 meter wide, adding much grandness the Great Wall,\u00a0but\u00a0at the same time,\u00a0pitifully damaging the original structure\u00a0of the ancient pass.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The bit of the Great Wall east of Moshikou Pass is locally referred as Xiangshuihu Great Wall perched on\u00a0a steep slope over 1000 meters long with two towers. “Xiangshuihu” literally means “the gurgling lake Great Wall”, named after the\u00a0the rippling sound of water flowing\u00a0through the ancient pass in the valley\u00a0below the Great Wall.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Exactly speaking, Moshikou Pass narrowly refers to\u00a0the pass itself, or the entrance of Xiangshuihu Great Wall. But People often\u00a0use Moshikou Pass, or Moshikou Pass\u00a0Great Wall, to refer to Xiangshuihu Great Wall, or vice versa. So Moshikou Great Wall and Xiangshuihu Great Wall ofen mean the same section of the Wall.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The Moshikou Pass was bulit in the valley flanked east by Xiangshuihu Great Wall and northwest by\u00a0Lianyunling Great Wall<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0and Luanling Great Wall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The three sections of the Wall – Xiangshuihu Great Wall, Lianyunling Great Wall<\/a>\u00a0 and\u00a0Luanling Great Wall<\/a><\/span> are often referred as\u00a0\u00a0Dazhenyu Great Wall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In another word, Dazhenyu Great Wall is mainly composed of the three bits of the Wall – Xiangshuihu Great Wall,\u00a0Lianyunling Great Wall<\/a> and , which\u00a0Luanling Great Wall<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0last about 9km. Dazhenyu Great Wall is named after Dazhenyu Village where it is located.<\/span><\/p>\n
