People's Daily Online, Beijing, April 2 (Reporter Yin Xingyun) Recently, the peach blossoms in Beijing Shuiguan Great Wall Scenic Area have entered the best viewing period. Climbing on the Great Wall at Shuiguan, looking up, the mountain flowers embrace the ancient Great Wall, which looks particularly peaceful and magnificent. The Tomb Sweeping Day holiday is coming, and Shuiguan Great Wall Scenic Area has also done a good job in receiving tourists and creating a good environment for tourists.

Standing in the west of the Great Wall at Shuiguan, the camera zooms in. It can be seen that the "Spring Train" S2 line passes through the Shifo Temple Tunnel and heads towards Yanqing. Shuiguan Great Wall West City has also become another time to watch the "Spring Train".

At the same time, Zhan Tianyou's old residence in Shuiguan Great Wall Scenic Area is also one of the punch points. This is the place where Zhan Tianyou, the "father of China's railways", once lived when he built the Beijing Zhangjiakou Railway in 1906. He once set up a temporary headquarters here and completed the construction of critical sections of the Guangou Valley.

In addition, the mountain flowers around Guancheng Square of Badaling Great Wall Scenic Area and Yangpo on the fourth floor in the north have also been in full bloom. As the temperature continues to rise this year, the mountain flowers that opened after the Tomb Sweeping Day last year will open a week earlier this year. Because of the high altitude of Badaling, the crisscross valleys and the large temperature difference, the mountain flowers will open in different periods. The spring flower appreciation period of Badaling Scenic Area is expected to last until the middle and late April.

It is reported that the Shuiguan Great Wall is the eastern part of the Badaling Great Wall. It is very dangerous and famous for its strange, dangerous, steep and hard terrain. This section of the Great Wall was built in Danggukou, and was built in the Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall from Shuimen Archery Tower is in the shape of "V". The archery tower is both an enemy tower and a water gate. This construction method is extremely rare in the Great Wall along the line, so it is called Shuiguan Great Wall. The city walls on the east and west sides of the arrow tower are steep, like a giant dragon spreading its wings like a roc, so the Great Wall at Shuiguan has the reputation of "Iron Wing Grand Pass".
