Within the county, Great Wall sites consist of sections built in the Han (206 BC-AD 220) and Ming (1368-1644) dynasties. The 79 existing segments are composed of walls, trenches, passes, fortresses, and stand-alone structures, according to the county government.

They are more than just ancient structures; they are a testament to the resilience and spirit of the people and as Zhang Yongtang, director of Tianzhu's cultural and tourism bureau, says, the Wall's cultural value extends far beyond its physical form.
