The fortress of the Qingshan Pass have recently been rebuilt and now welcomes tourists. Furthermore a small hotel and restaurant have been build.
Many of the houses from the old fortress have been carefully rebuild and gives a good impression on how life might have been many years ago during the Ming Dynasty.
The roads are narrow and many of the houses is now used for various things to help the tourists like police station and small shops.
Apparently some of the houses can also be used for accommodation for tourists visiting this remote location far away from the the pulsating life in Beijing.
Like the rest of the Qingshanguan the fortress is also full of trees and small bushes which gives the whole area a very relaxed feeling and provides a welcomed shadow from the hot Chinese summer.
The fortress wall consist of a north and south (seen above) gate and the wall is connected to the Great Wall. So far no repair have been made on the wall so only the houses have been rebuild.
