Ancient Great Wall Gubeikou

Ancient Great Wall Gubeikou in Beijing returns to March 1933, when Japan's Kwantung Army pushed toward the capital and Chinese troops dug in along this centuries-old pass, outgunned and short on ammunition. The guide follows soldiers who slipped out at night armed only with heavy swords to raid enemy positions in the dark, and the weeks of fighting that followed. Walk the ridge and look closely at the bricks beneath your feet.
