About Zijingguan Pass
Zijingguan is one of the Great Wall's main passes, on the Juma River in Yi County, and with Juyongguan and Daomaguan it formed the 'Inner Three Passes' guarding the approaches to the capital region. It was fought over more than 140 times, and the Oirat Mongols broke through in 1449 after the Tumu Crisis; stretches of Ming wall and gates survive around Zijingguan village.
