You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Mutianyu''' (((zh|t=慕田峪|p=Mùtiányù))) is a section of the [[Great Wall|Great Wall of China]] located in [[Huairou District]] within the city limits of [[Beijing]] ((convert|70|km|sp=us)) northeast of the center of the city.  The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is connected with [[Jiankou]] in the west and Lianhuachi in the east. As one of the best-preserved parts of the Great Wall, the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall used to serve as the northern barrier defending the capital and the imperial tombs.

==History==
First built in the mid-6th century during the [[Northern Qi]], the Mutianyu section is older than the better known [[Badaling]] section of the Great Wall. During the [[Ming dynasty]], under the supervision of general [[Xu Da]], construction of the present wall began, building over the previous wall. In 1404, a pass was built in the wall.<ref>Yu Mingzhong (1788). Rixiajiuwenkao, Volume 153, p. 2466</ref> In 1569, the Mutianyu Great Wall was rebuilt and still today most parts of it are well preserved. The Mutianyu Great Wall has the largest construction scale and best quality among all sections of Great Wall.

In 1568, the [[Zhu Zaihou|Longqing Emperor]] appointed [[Qi Jiguang]] as governor and military administrator of [[Jizhou District, Tianjin|Jizhou]], [[Changping District|Changping]] and [[Baoding]] to help train the guards in the area.<ref name="auto">''[http://www.mutianyugreatwall.com/history] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190926021748/http://www.mutianyugreatwall.com/history |date=2019-09-26 ))''. Mutianyu Great Wall Official Website</ref> Qi Jiguang helped to maintain the 2000-li section of the Great Wall, which was finished in 1572. Qi Jiguang, upon noticing that the wall had no abutments, suggested the installation of abutments to officials. His suggestion was approved.

In 1983, the [[State Council of the People's Republic of China]] approved the restoration of the Mutianyu Great Wall. In 1985, the Huairou District local government established the management of the Mutianyu Great Wall Tourist Area under the leadership of Mutianyu village. The area was opened to select tourists in 1986, and was chosen to be one of Beijing's 16 scenic spots in the same year. In 1987, the Great Wall was selected as a [[UNESCO World Heritage]] site. In 1988, the tourist area was opened to all visitors. In 1992, Mutianyu was rated as the best tourist spot in Beijing.<ref name="auto"/>

In May 2007, selectmen from the towns of [[Buckland, Massachusetts|Buckland]] and [[Shelburne, Massachusetts|Shelburne]], [[Massachusetts]], in the United States, inked a memorandum of agreement with officials from Mutianyu making the two the first known "sister villages".

==Description==
Built mainly with granite, the wall is ((convert|7|to|8.5|m|sp=us)) high, and its top is ((convert|4|to|5|m|sp=us)) wide. Compared with other sections of Great Wall, Mutianyu Great Wall possesses unique characteristics in its construction.

* [[Watchtower]]s are densely placed along this section of the Great Wall - 22 watchtowers on this ((convert|2250|m|adj=on|sp=us)) stretch.
* Both the outer and inner parapets are crenelated with [[merlon]]s, so that archers could fire protected on both sides - a feature very rare on other parts of the Great Wall.
* The Mutianyu Pass consists of three watchtowers, one big tower in the center flanked by two smaller towers on both sides. Standing on the same terrace, the three watchtowers are connected to each other inside and compose a rarely seen structure among all sections of Great Wall. Two of the side watchtowers has two graffiti canvases which are regularly replaced.

Besides, this section of Great Wall is surrounded by woodland and streams. The forest coverage rate is over 90 percent.

Today, this section of wall is open to visitors. There are three methods of ascent and four methods of descent to choose from. Besides utilizing 4000+ steps, visitors may also choose between a two-rider [[chairlift]] or four-rider [[gondola lift]] up from the foothills to the level of the wall, which runs along the ridges above. These lifts may also be used to descend. Another feature of the wall at Mutianyu is an alternate method of descent by single-rider personal wheeled [[summer toboggan|toboggan]]. This allows single riders to descend from the wall to the valley on a winding metal track.

Adjacent to the Mutianyu wall is its namesake village, which has been hailed by the Chinese government as a model village because of its rebirth largely thanks to tourism and glassware industries. [[Mutianyu Village]] is twinned with the village of [[Shelburne Falls]] in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Massachusetts]].

Due to its proximity to the Jiankou Great Wall, the Mutianyu-Jiankou trail is becoming one of the most popular Great Wall hikes. As [[Jiankou]] is in a state of disrepair, this hike combines the preserved condition of Jiankou's Great Wall with the classic restorative brickwork of Mutianyu.
