Juyong Pass of the Great Wall-5 Giants Cave, Qin-Playing Valley and Fairy Bridge

5 Giants Cave

According to the folklore, there were 5 giants lived in Juyong Section. It was said that the 20-kilometer-long Pass Valley was excavated by the 5 giants at one night. Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty had ever mentioned the 5 giants in his poem. To memorize the 5 giants, a cave was cut and named after them. So comes the scenic spot of 5 Giants Cave.

Qin-Playing Valley

It is said that there is a valley to the east of the 5 Giants Cave. the narrow valley is surrounded by precipitous mountains. A spring flows briskly along the valley. the rippling water sounds like the music played with Qin, which is a traditional Chinese musical instrument. Hence the name Qin-Playing Valley. The valley is also one of the famous scenic spots of the Pass Valley area. The sound of babbling water echoes in the valley, which deeply charms visitors.

Once a man nicknamed Taihang Taoist ever tried but ultimately failed to discover the valley. So he left words on the Fairy Pillow Stone that the Qin-Playing Valley was vanished. His failure should be ascribed to the lack of adventure spirit. He dared not go further so that he could not reach the Valley. Of course, the Valley is not that easy to be discovered. The Valley could be identified by Chinese words inscribed on the cliffs. Those words are Tan Qin Xia and Wu Gui Tou ( Qin-Playing valley and 5 Giants Cave ). The Valley, however, was regretfully destroyed to build the Jing-Zhang Railway. the Qin-Playing Valley, one of the most attractive scenic spots in the Pass Valley, was thus really vanished forever.

Fairy bridge

Adjacent to the scenic spot of 2 Dragons Dallying with a Pearl, the Fairy Bridge lies on the mountain nearby Sanbao Railway Station. 1 meters long and 50cm wide, it is actually a huge stone bridges among the mountains. Xian Ren Qiao, chinese characters standing for Fairy bridge, is carved on the stone.
