It is a wonderful example of ancient Chinese military engineering. Within the pass, more than 40 crisscrossing lanes form the shape of the eight diagrams, giving the town a nickname, the Eight-Diagram Town. In the center of the town, there is the Great Wall Museum. A marathon race is held at Huangyaguan every year in the middle of May, attracting thousands of runners.
