Lesser-Known Wall
The Jiankou Great Wall is one of the most breathtaking and rugged sections of the Great Wall of China, offering a more adventurous and off-the-beaten-path experience for travelers looking to explore the Wall beyond the typical tourist routes. Located about 70 km north of Beijing, Jiankou is famous for its dramatic, steep slopes, towering watchtowers, and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The hike here is more challenging than other sections of the Wall, making it perfect for adventurous travelers and nature enthusiasts looking to explore a more authentic and wild side of Beijing. Jiankou offers stunning photo opportunities, and its rugged beauty contrasts with the more restored areas of the Great Wall, providing a sense of history and adventure. If youโre looking for an unforgettable hiking experience and panoramic vistas, Jiankou is a hidden gem in Beijingโs vast historical landscape.
