Gubeikou Town (simplified Chinese: 古北口镇; traditional Chinese: 古北口鎮; pinyin: Gǔběikǒu Zhèn) is a town of Miyun District in northeastern Beijing,[1] traversed by G101, bordering with Luanping County, Hebei to the north and the Beijing towns of Gaoling (高岭镇) to the west, Xinchengzi (新城子镇) to the east and Taishitun (太师屯镇). The area is one of the important passes of the Great Wall of China, serving as an ancient chokepoint for travelers between Northeast China and Beijing. As of 2020, it had a total population of 7,170 under its administration.[2]

Name

Gubeikou and Dushikou marked as the principal gateways through the Great Wall on the general map in the 1754 Provincial Atlas of the Qing Empire

This town's name originated in 1736. During Qianlong Emperor's visit, he named this region by combining two inscrpted names, Guguan (simplified Chinese: 古关; traditional Chinese: 古關; lit. 'Old Pass') and Beikou (Chinese: 北口; lit. 'North Gate'), into Gubeikou (Chinese: 古北口; lit. 'Old North Gate') that is still being used to this day.[3]
