This is one of the three Nine Dragon Wall in China (the others are inside the Forbidden City and in the city of Datong), but this is the only one which is double-sided, with nine dragons on each side. There are also other dragons on each ends and the eaves. This one was built in 1756, and is about 88 feet long, 22 feet high, and 5 feet thick. It is made of 424 seven-colour glazed tiles, and has a total of 635 dragons on it.
