The butment is also called the beacon tower. There are two butments in East and West Mountains alongside the Badaling Great Wall. A butment is seventeen meters high with a small city around it. The city is five meters high with tall buildings above and drawbridges underneath. There are cages in the hall storing ice in winter and water in summer. There are no stairs. Each butment was guarded by two cannons and ten soldiers.
