Because the Great Wall fell steeply from the mountain, it was suspended on the ridge, and the iron wall was suspended in the air, blocking the mouth of the Shiguan Gorge, commonly known as the "Overhanging Great Wall". The original wall of the Overhanging Great Wall is only one section left, with a bottom width of 4 meters, a top width of 2 meters, and a height of 0.5-6 meters. The thickness of the stone layer is 10-15 cm, and the thickness of the soil layer is 10-12 cm. The existing 750-meter-long Great Wall was rebuilt in 1987, of which 231 meters of the city wall was suspended at a height of 150 meters, because it was inclined on the ridge of 45', it looked like it was hanging in the air, very similar to a person's arm in an S shape on the mountain, hence the name "Overhanging Great Wall". It is 6 meters high, and the thickness of the stone and soil layers is the same as before. Crenellations and eaves walls were added to the wall, and a pier was added at the beginning and end, and a step-shaped mantou road was built on the first pier and the slope. Visitors go up the stairs, the flat place is like walking on the ground, and the steep place is like climbing a cliff. It is quite similar to the Simatai Great Wall in Beijing.
