The Great Wall at Juyong Pass near Beijing is 8.5 metres high, 6.5 metres wide at the bottom and 5.7 metres wide at the top and its parapet女儿墙 is some 1 metre high.

Juyong (Dwelling-in-Harmony) Pass, also known as Jundu Pass or Jimen Pass, is an important strategic gateway leading to Inner Mongolia. The slopes on both sides of this narrow pass are carpeted by a dense growth of foliage. It used to be one of the eight famous scenic spots in Beijing. After five years of renovation, the famous Juyongguan section of the Great Wall opened to tourists in late March 1998.

The 20-kilometre-long ravine, named Guangou (Pass Ravine) , flanked by mountains, was the northern entrance to Beijing inancient times. The cavalry men of Genghis Khan swept through it in the 13th century. The Yuan emperors had to travel through the ravine every year to their summer resort in Inner Mongolia, staying overnight at Juyong Pass.Entering the Pass, visitors will see an ancient platform known as Cloud Terrace , built in 1345, and made of marble. It was called the Crossing Street Dagoba, since its arch spanned the main street of the pass. There were formerly three dagobas on the top of the terrace. Unfortunately they collapsed along with the nearby imperial residence and other religious buildings during an early 15th century earthquake. Later on, a new temple was built on the site, but it was also destroyed in the early years of the Qing Dynasty. Now only the terrace remains. The tenace is9.5 metres high, its width is 26.84 metres and the length of the cave is 17.57metres. If one man guards the pass, ten thousand are unable to get through.
