Baimaguan Fort, China

Baimaguan Fort is a fort in the town of Fanzipai, north of Beijing and close to the Great Wall of China. It was built in the period of Emperor Yongle (1402-1424) of the Ming Dynasty.
The fort consisted of 500 guards and beacon towers and along with Qiangzilu Fort and Gubeikou Fort, these forts were additional defence along China's northern front.
Only ruins of the fort remain.
