Checking in at the Jiankou Great Wall in Beijing|Where danger and beauty coexist!

Over the weekend, I drove to the Jiankou Great Wall with friends who love the outdoors. The last time I went was many years ago. However, the Jiankou Great Wall in Beijing is not very suitable for beginners in mountaineering, because it is really dangerous. Everyone must pay attention to safety. The Jiankou Great Wall is located in Badaohe Township, northwest of Huairou, a suburb of Beijing, with a maximum altitude of 1141 meters and about 30 kilometers from Huairou County. It starts from Niujiabian in the east, passes through the North Tower, the East and West Suobolou, the Small Potala Palace, the East and West Youlou Top, Jiankou Beam, General's Guard, Sky Ladder, Eagle Flying Upside Down, Beijing Knot, and ends at Jiuyanlou in the west, stretching for more than 20 kilometers. Overall, the Great Wall winds and undulates, forming a W shape, like a full bow and arrow, hence the name. The Jiankou Great Wall is one of the most famous dangerous sections of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall. The terrain is very changeable. The Great Wall on the dangerous peaks and cliffs is even more majestic and dangerous, fully demonstrating the shock, danger, wonder, special, and uniqueness of the Great Wall. Here you can appreciate the original ancient Great Wall landscape. Mountain climbers must bring enough water and food, because there is none for sale on the mountain. Climbing water is very important, as well as outdoor equipment. For this kind of dangerous terrain, it is recommended that everyone wear professional climbing shoes. Safety first, the important thing is said three times!

"Third time's a charm" they say... My third visit to the wall was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. We drove 4 hours from Beijing and hiked/camped on the wall. What an experience! Having the wall all to ourselves was unforgettable. The Chinese don't call the wall the "Great Wall," they call it the "10,000 Li (a Chinese unit of length ~0.5km) Long Wall". #万里长城 #greatwall #leaveyourmark#urbanexplorer
