辽东镇长城与蓟镇长城[1]的关系得到确认即以锥子山为分界的蓟辽长城[2]，其山之南、西为蓟镇长城，东面为辽东长城。此关系的确认源于山海关[3]外辽宁绥中境内新发现的长约20公里的长城遗址[4]。此遗址由辽宁省文物局[5]与辽宁省测绘局[6]于近日在长城资源调查报告[7]中首次披露。
报告称它起自绥中县沟外屯南岭山长城1段，终点在属南线的荆条沟屯荆条沟北山长城，与北线锥子山至金牛洞长城段的墙体平行[8]。蓟镇长城东起山海关、西至居庸关。
这段拱卫京师的长城因盘亘于燕山山岭[9]间，易被山水冲垮建城墙下可过山水的水关。辽东镇长城西接蓟镇长城，东至辽宁省丹东虎山长城，已知总长约2350公里。
The connection between the Great Wall of Liaodong Town and the Great Wall of Ji Town has been confirmed. Divided by Zhuizi Mountain, to their west and south lies the Great Wall of Ji Town, and to the east lies the Great Wall of Liaodong Town. This connection was confirmed due to the newfound Great Wall ruins, along a section of 20 km in Suizhong, Liaoning, outside of Shaihai Pass. These relics were revealed for the first time in a survey report which took place in recent days in around the Great Wall, conducted by Cultural Heritage Bureau of Liaoning Province and Bureau of Surveying and Mapping of Liaoning province.
The report states that the site begins at the Great Wall's first section (the most eastern section) at Nanling Mountain in Gouwai Station, SuizhongTown, and ends in Jingtiaobeishan Great Wall in Jintiaogou Station, parallel to the wall from Zhuizi Mountain and Jinniudong Great Wall. The Great Wall of Ji Town begins from Shaihai Pass, in the east, and reaches Juyongguan Pass in the west.
This section is easily flooded by water, since it stretches between ridges of the Yan Mountains, and the wall construction can become a water gate for the water flowing from the mountains. The Great Wall of Liaodong Town, which is approximately 2350 km long, is next to The Great Wall of Ji in the west, and reaches the Tiger Mountain Great Wall in Dandong Liaodong town in the east.
