Shanxi has eight types of walls, depending on the dynasty in which they were built -- the Warring States Period (475-221BC), Eastern Wei (534-550), Northern Qi (550-577), Northern Zhou (557-581), Sui Dynasty (581-618), Song (690-1279), Ming (1368-1644), and Qing (1644-1911) -- with the Ming section being the largest in scale and involving the construction work lasted for 154 years.

Shanxi had great military significance in history thanks to its many passes along its Great Wall, including those at Yanmen Pass, Niangzi Pass, Pianguan Pass, and Pingxing Pass. Here lists top attractions about Great Wall in Shanxi Province
