Niangzi Pass
娘子关
This is the south one of the Inner Three Passes of Great Wall in Ming Dynasty,located northeast of present Pinding County,Shanxi Province, half way on Mt Mian west of Taihang Mountains.
它是明代长城的内三关长城南端的一个，位于山西平定县东北，,一半在太行山以西的绵山上。
In Tang Dynasty, Princess Pingyang，3rd daughter of Emperor Gaozu，once guarded here with her sister soldiers，
在唐代,平阳公主,唐高祖的第三个女儿,跟她姐妹兵驻守于此,
and folks honored her troop as “Women” army，or Niangzi army in Chinese,hence the name for the pass.
当地人尊称她的部队为“女人”军队,或者娘子军队,这就是起名的缘由。
The present pass city was built in 1542 with 2 gates.
目前关城建于1542年有2个门，
The outer gate is a brick arch,with a platform above for troop inspection and enemy watch.
外门是砖做的拱门,上面一个平台用于监视敌情。
The lower part of the inner gate is also a brick arch,but above it is a tower,very solid in structure.
里面的门也是一个砖做的拱门,但上面是一个塔,结构非常牢固。
Great Wall stretches out from both sides winding along with the mountain ridges as a natural safeguard of Shanxi and Hebei Provinces.
长城沿着作为山西和河北省的自然屏障的山脊延伸。
Along with it at the mountain foot is the railway from Shijiazhuang to Taiyuan,
在山脚下有从石家庄到太原的铁路通过,
and viewed from inside the train are the amazing scenes of lofty passes and towers as well as the cataract pouring its pearl like drops which is popularly praised as Cave of Water Curtain.
从火车里看到的是令人惊叹的景色，如关口和检漏以及像倒珍珠的瀑布其被誉为水帘洞瀑布。
