长城 把最美一段留给了河北
The Most Wondrous Section of the Ming Great Wall

在河北境内，存有自战国至明朝各个朝代的长城，总长达2000多公里，是长城保存最为完整最具代表性的区段，而其中又以明代长城保存最为完好和常见。

正是历史上农耕与游牧民族在河北进行的激烈对抗，造就了河北长城的坚固无比和绝美意境。China’s Hebei Province boasts the most comprehensive and representative collection of the Great Wall sections,

with walls constructed by several dynasties that ruled China, from the Warring States period (475–221 BC) through the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644).

Among these Great Wall sections, those constructed by the Ming court are both the most ubiquitous and the best preserved.

Indeed, it was Hebei’s history of fierce conflict between agricultural civilization of Central Plains and nomadic cultures from the north that lead to incomparable strength and beauty of its Great Wall sections.
