Question

If anyone could say if the pass is worth seeing if one has already been on 4 sections of the great wall.And if it is then, the most convenient transport from either downtown datong or from  the hanging monastery.

Cindy · Answer

No, not necessary to see Yanmenguan Pass. It is just a small pass left with a pavilion there between two hills. It is saild that the local government would rebuild some parts, not interesting to see brand new buildings too.

Cyclist · Answer

I have visited the pass a few days ago. It is a beautiful location, but remember a lot of the wooden tempels, towers and house have been rebuilt due to destruction during the japanese occupation. There are a few tourists. Most of them will not hike the trail and they are walking in the neigbourhood of the main tower.

Victor · Answer

I agree Cindy, since the rebuild of Yanmenguan the appeal has been lost. I regret not stopping off there there when I was sitting on a bus to Datong going past the area in 2005 ! Big regret.
