Zhenbian Fortress Village is located at Huailai County, Hebei Province. Once it was a frontier fortress along the defense line of the Great wall. There are two ancient scholar trees in town, and most buildings are Ming and Qing style. The city wall was built with large stones.
Five meters away from North of Zhenbian Fortress Village, lays Hengling Fortress, which is large-scale and well-preserved. You can see ancient theater in the village, but the pictures on the pillar and roof beam became muzzy after so long time. The north city gate was well-preserved, with complete arch and buttress. Inside Hengling village you can find the Guandi Temple. It was build in the Qing Dynasty and named after a truly good and honest general, Today you can still see some wall paintings.
West of Zhenbian Fortress is Bijia Mountain with height of 1448 meters, which is high and steep. From Hengling to northwest, there is a long section of Great Wall, which was called Yangbian (Example) by the local peasants. It is said that when Qi Jiguang built the Great Wall, he built this section of Great Wall as example and ordered the workers to build the Great Wall like this. 5 kilometers away from Hengling is Dashankou Great Wall, where you can see Yan Great Wall built in Warring States Period.
