The Qin Dynasty section of the Great Wall has been standing for over 2,200 years. Within the boundaries of Guyang county, the total length of this section is 95.6 kilometers, with 173 beacon towers and five square fortresses scattered along its length, forming a complete ancient military defense system.

The Great Wall is not only a symbol of the spirit of the Chinese nation, but also an important carrier for preserving the culture of North China. Since 2024, Guyang has organized a series of Great Wall-themed cultural activities.

This park's opening aims to provide an immersive experience for visitors, allowing them to step back in time and truly appreciate Great Wall culture.

As visitors enter the Qin Dynasty Great Wall National Cultural Park, they will pass through ancient gates, have the opportunity to see themed exhibitions, and get to experience markets that replicate those from the Qin and Han dynasties (221 BC-AD 220). Visitors will also pass Qin battle flag checkpoints and thatched house replicas.
