Yuntai Cloud Platform

Yuntai Cloud Platform is situated near Juyongguan Fortress on the Great Wall. Built in the 14th century, it originally served as the base for three pagodas with an entrance ("street tower"). Later it was reconstructed into the wooden temple Tainian. Inside there remain inscriptions in six ancient languages. The temple was destroyed by fire in the 18th century and has never been rebuilt. The platform holds historical significance as part of China's defensive system.
