Hushan "Great Wall", also known as the "Tiger Mountain Great Wall", is a border fortress, deemed "easternmost known part of the Great Wall of China". About 600 metres of remains were excavated here in 1989. In 1992, a section of wall was fully reconstructed in Ming dynasty style and is open to the public, forming a popular tourist attraction.
