This is Heigulou Watchtwer at jinshanling- a typical watchtower. During the active time of the Ming Wall, one militia `s family were stationed in each watchtower. They lived downstairs but had to be sure one member was on top watching all the time. The house on top is a shelter for bad weather. But the watchtower was their work place , their house was in the army base behind the Wall. |
