The reason for this section of the Great Wall being called 'Laolongtou (Old Dragon's Head)' is that people compare the Great Wall with a huge dragon. It runs through the desert, climbing Mt. Helan, exceeding Mt. Taihang, getting down from Mt. Yanshan, flying to the Bohai Sea. Then it makes a turn in Liaoxi Corridor, forming a mighty Shanhaiguan Pass. Finally its head sinks into the sea which is called Laolongtou.
