Great Wall remains in Hebei emerge from receding water (1/2)

The remains of the Great Wall emerge from a reservoir in Qianxi County, Hebei Province after the water receded. This section of the Great Wall, built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), was inundated due to the construction of Panjiakou Reservoir, a water-control project in the 1970s.
