Tips
culture
Many foreign leaders have been taken here, Richard Nixon in 1972 among them, and it is where most tourists see the wall. A stone at the site carries Mao's line 不到长城非好汉 'you are no hero until you reach the Great Wall'.
memory
八达 means 'reaching in all eight directions': the pass sat where roads to the north and west met.
