The Great Wall was built across six districts or counties in Beijing, such as Pinggu, Miyun, Huairou, Yanqing, Changping and Mentougou from east to west. Forming a half hoop shape, it protected the safety of this city. It measures about 391 miles. The repaired part is only 18 miles, comprising about 5% of the full length. Juyongguan Great Wall is one of the three most famous passes along the Great Wall of China, together with Jiayuguan and Shanhaiguan. 37 miles (60 km) from downtown Beijing, Juyong Pass was a solid stronghold encircling a valley, which was the northern direct access to Beijing in ancient times.
