The spot of Glass Steps is located on the stairs to the west of the Mu No.10 Watchtower , embedded within the 600-year-old Ming Dynasty Great Wall, creating a modern and refreshing experience. This is the only place on the entire Great Wall where you can see the Ming Dynasty-era pathway through the glass, hundreds of years in the past. It's definitely worth seeing in person!
