After our usual local lunch we start climbing the sometimes steep slopes on a dirt trail that leads to the Zhengbeilou Watchtower(991m). It is a descend 500 meter climb that will take you about 1 hour. Your efforts will be rewarded as you will stand on top of the Great Wall tower where some of the most spectacular pictures have been shot.

We walk east on the wall to the highest point of Jiankou (1029 meters) allowing you to see the entire Mutianyu Great Wall plus much of Jiankou as well. Its a very enjoyable walk on top of a well preserved Great Wall and after a good hour of walking we will enter the Mutianyu Great Wall. Another hour down hill on nicely restored Great Wall is how we Finnish this hike.
