Mutianyu Fort is at the head of the pass which gives easy access onto the North China Plain. What is significant about this is not that the valley is wide here - it is not - or that it is low down - it is not - but that there is a gentle slope either side, making it easy for horses to get through here. This little dip in the hills is much more strategic than it looks, despite the seemingly wider valleys to the east.
The fort was an access point and was probably here long before the Wall was constructed along the ridge line either side.
Many visitors do not make it to the fort, as it requires a lot of climbing up and down as you walk along the wall.
