| Hebei has been the important area of building the Great Wall ever since ancient time. |

| As early as 369 BC, during the Warring States Period, Zhongshan, a small state of only l,000 war chariots, located between Yan and Zhao these two powerful states, built the Great Wall in Laiyuan£¬Tang County, Shun Ping and Quyang of Baoding City in the middle of Hebei for survival, starting the history of building the Great Wall in Hebei. Soon, Yan and Zhao, two of the seven-powerful states, respectively built North Yan Great Wal1 and North Zhao Great Wall to resist "Hu" northern nomadic nationalities, and built South Yan Great Wall and South Zhao Great Wall to guard against Zhongshan State, Wei State and Qi State. |

| The Qin Dynasty made use of the Great Wall of Qin state, North Yan Great Wall and North Zhao Great Wall. The Qin Great Wall was from east to west, running across Huai'an County, Shangyi County, Wanquan County, Zhanghei County, Chongli County, Guyuan County and Chicheng County of Zhanjiakou City and Fengning County and Weichang County of Chengde City. The Han Dynasty used mostly the Qin Great Wall, but in Chengde City, the Great Wall was also built in Luanping County, Longhua County and Chengde County, which were south of the Qin Great Wall. The section of North Wei Great Wall in Hebei was still mainly in Zhangjlakou City and Chengde City. The rulers of North Qi had the Great Wal1 in Luanping County extended eastward to the shore of Bohai Sea in Suizhong County of Liaoning Province, via Zunhua County, Qianxi County and Qian'an County of Tangshan City, Xinglong County and Kuancheng County of Chengde City, Qinglong County, Funing County and Shanhaiguan¡¡ |
