Looking from the Great Wall, across the valley, to the stretch of Great Wall on the next mountain top. The section I went to was the First Magnificent Pass. The guardhouse was placed so that they could send signals to nearby soldiers to warm of approaching enemy troops, and so it was said that one soldier manning the guard tower at this pass could keep out/protect the land from 10,000 invading troops.
