The total length is 98.5 kilometers, showing an east-west trend. It consists of trenches and natural river towers. Trenches are used instead of fences throughout the line. Although it was a long time ago, it is still clearly visible. The other is the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, which was built in the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty (1572), in Qin Long, more than 400 years ago. The Ming Great Wall consists of compacted loess walls, piers and barriers. The direction and length are the same as the Great Wall of Han Dynasty. The Han Great Wall is in the north and the Ming Great Wall is in it. The distance between them is between 10-80 meters, and they extend in parallel.

Shandan Buddhist Temple was originally named Tufo Temple. After several generations, the temple has experienced military disasters and wars, reconstruction and rise and fall. According to historical records, it was repaired six times during the 440 years from the fifth year of Ming Dynasty (1440) to the thirteenth year of Guangxu (1887).
