The most dangerous section of the Great Wall of China, only the bravest dare to conquer it.

The Great Wall of China is considered one of the most famous historical landmarks in China, attracting millions of visitors every year. The Great Wall is the general name for numerous ramparts stretching thousands of kilometers from east to west. This structure was built of earth and stone from the 5th century BC to the 16th century AD in China.

The Great Wall of China was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. According to an archaeological study in 2012, the Great Wall is 21,196 km long. The average height of the wall is 7 meters above ground level, and the top of the wall is approximately 5-6 meters wide.

In particular, according to historical records, after unifying China in 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang ordered the construction and connection of the scattered defense lines of various states to form the Great Wall of China. This is a massive network of walls built by a large number of people more than 2,000 years ago.

In fact, besides the relatively flat areas that visitors can easily walk through, the Great Wall of China also has some very dangerous sections with warnings intended only for brave and daring tourists who want to conquer them.

One famous section of this road, dubbed the " stairway to heaven, " is a prime example. Located in Miyun County, about 120km from Beijing, it was constructed between 1551 and 1555 during the Ming Dynasty.

This section of the road has a slope of up to 80 degrees, making it extremely easy to fall. (Photo: Instagram)

This section of the trail has a slope and angle of approximately 70-80 degrees , including about 70 stone steps and is 80 meters high. With such a steep incline, the path is almost vertical. Furthermore, some sections of the steps are only half a meter wide, each step about 50 cm high and 15 cm wide. Therefore, to conquer this section, visitors need mountaineering skills, courage, and the ability to use both their hands and feet to climb up or down.

This section of the road is also a place that many tourists, despite having visited the Great Wall of China, have not dared to conquer.
