Take the west entrance in the 'West entrance', that is, kill the tiger. As an ancient military fortress and an important border trade town, Shahukou has a high reputation and rich historical and cultural relics. " "Going to Xikou" not only carries the glory and dream of Shanxi merchants, but also inscribes the blood and tears of Shanxi people making a living in Xikou. Carry your bags and follow the footprints of the Shang Gang to explore the brilliance of Jin merchants. The story of "walking West" in history took place in Shahukou. In recent years, people have been traveling to this place. At this time, many people will ask if they want tickets for tourism in this place? What time is it open?

Shahukou is located 35 kilometers northwest of Youyu county. It is an important natural gateway of the Great Wall. It is adjacent to Tangzi mountain in the East, Dabao mountain in the west, Leigong Mountain and Miaotou mountain in the north. The great wall extends from northeast to southwest. It is like a semicircular wall enclosing the killing tiger pass. Mountains and cliffs stand on the East and west sides. CangTou river runs through it from South to north, forming a natural pass with a width of more than 200 meters and a length of more than 3000 meters.

Actually, it should be called "Shahukou". From the word name, it can be seen that the main idea is to resist the Hu people. It is named because the Ming Dynasty sent troops from this mouth many times in order to resist the southern invasion of Mongolian warla. After the Qing Dynasty, it became the only way to go west. I don't know when it was changed to "kill tiger pass". Some said that the National Army led by Feng Yuxiang stationed in "kill Hu pass" in 1925. Feng Yuxiang appointed Han duofeng, one of the thirteen Taibao, as the garrison envoy of kill Hu pass and renamed it "kill tiger pass". However, no matter when the name is changed, it must be changed in order to ease ethnic contradictions.

When we arrive at Shahukou, the first thing we see is that on the only way from Shanxi Youyu to Inner Mongolia, the renovated and rebuilt Shahukou gate is composed of two newly built towers, which is broad and magnificent. In fact, this location used to be a dilapidated high gate and narrow rammed earth gate. The walls on both sides are also made of rammed earth, which continues to the ancient Great Wall.
