The Jinshanling section of the Great Wall, located near Beijing, certainly lives up to its fame as the most beautiful section of the Great Wall. Known for its barrier walls, bricks carved with characters, and gigantic stones, Jinshanling is often hailed as a paradise for photographers.

As autumn deepens and colors spread across the mountains, Bryan Allen from the United Kingdom captured the quiet majesty of this ancient wonder.
