But apparently, not entirely the Laolongtou section is the original building. Citing the Planet Amusing site, in July 1905 Japanese soldiers landed at the Shanhai Pass. They bombard the area, destroying some sides of this wall. Friends of what stands now is the Chinese government's attempt to make a replica of the original building. Luolongtou is divided into seven parts namely Estuary Stone City, Chenghai Tower, Nereus Temple, Jinglu Beacon Tower, Nanhaikou Pass, Ningchai City, and Binhai Walls. .
