Ba Sing Se is the titanic capital of the Earth Kingdom, encompassing nearly all of the northeast corner of the kingdom. It was the last great Earth Kingdom stronghold after the fall of Omashu. The city is by far the largest city in any of the four nations. Ba Sing Se means "impenetrable city", the city is so named for its two world-famous walls, the gates of which have no hinges or other hardware and are opened by use of earthbending.

The Serpent's Pass is a narrow strip of land between two large lakes, that links the Southern and Northern halves of the Earth Kingdom. It is one of the very few direct paths to the capital, Ba Sing Se. It is named after the serpent which guards the point where the East and West lakes meet. At this point the Serpent's pass for a short distance disappears under the lakes. All of this makes the pass feared in the Earth Kingdom. Most travelers refuse to use the pass and instead cross the lake by boat. Moderator:Moderators
