Detailed itinerary:
Jiankou Great Wall has perhaps the most frequent appearance on picture books and post cards of the Great Wall. This section of wall retains its original appearance since its construction in 1368. It is uniquely made of large white rocks. Jiankou Great Wall is considered to be a "wild" section of the Great Wall, due to its disrepair and its location along a mountain ridge with steep cliffs on each side, which makes it an ideal place for adventurous and experienced hikers and photographers.

We will start our hike along a trail in the mountains. It is easy to get to the wall. We will take a detour round some very dangerous parts such as "The Eagle Flies Facing Upward" watchtower and "Sky Stairs", but you still have chances to witness the stunning scenery of these dangerous parts. We will walk on the wall for about 3 hours and then will follow a nice mountainous trail down to Xizhazi village. We will have a lunch at a local farmer’s guest house after the hiking.

If you’re looking for some truly extraordinary hiking in one of the most beautiful natural settings, then Jiankou Great Wall is a wonderful choice. The hiking trail on the wall is really interesting but it requires at least average fitness.

Bad weather plan:
We will email you 2-3 days before the hike to let you know about the weather condition. If there is thunder storm, heavy rain or strong wind we will cancel it, change the dates or arrange a tour to the restored section of the Great Wall.
