The only Great Wall in southern China, also known as the Miao Border Wall, was first built in the 33rd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1554), but most of it was rebuilt later, and only a small section of the real ancient Great Wall remains. Compared with the majesty of the Great Wall in the north, the Great Wall in the south looks more beautiful, but the high and steep wall should not be underestimated. You need to go around the wall to enter the scenic spot, which takes about 40 minutes. The view from the top of the mountain is good. However, the repairs may be poor and the Great Wall looks dirty and old.
The overall attraction is not much, but what is interesting is that the world’s largest Go board has been built on the Great Wall. Since 2003, five China-Korea Go competitions have been held here. If you are short on time or have weak physical strength, you may not go there, or you can take a bus from Fenghuang to Alaying, where you can see the Great Wall in the distance for a few minutes on the bus.
