Jiumenkou Great Wall was first built in Northern Qi Dynasty (479 - 502) as an important military pass. During the Ming Dynasty(1368 - 1644), it was rebuilt to a larger scale under the supervision of General Xu Da. The great wall extends over 1,700 meters starting from lofty mountains in the south and finally arriving at the banks of Jiujiang River. A huge wall bridge was built over the river to control the river water.
In 1992, Jiumenkou Great Wall was renovated and opened to the public.
In 2002, Jiumenkou Great Wall was listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Jiumenkou Great Wall was built with bricks and stones. There are 16 watchtowers and 1 beacon tower along the wall. The most significant part is the wall bridge over the Jiujiang River. The bridge is 110 meters long and has nine arches. This is why this section was named"Jiumenkou(Nine Gates Entrance) Great Wall". The bridge is served as sluiceway to to regulate the flow of the river and hold off invading enemies. Rectangular stone slabs with an area of 7,000 square meters were placed in the riverbed. Two walled fortresses stand at each end of the bridge.
