Hike hill trails and Great Wall between Jiankou and Mutianyu, finishing with a scenic walk down into Beigou Village.
Usually when we do an ‘extra’ hike, the extra comes at the end.
On this one we’re adding the extra right at the start, hiking a part of recently repaired (but still rough and tricky) Great Wall on the east side of the Great Wall at Jiankou. Our local guide told us he thinks this extra section is the most beautiful part of the whole Jiankou Great Wall.
It is rough and tricky, though. We’re going to avoid the dangerous big cliffs, but you will need to take care on some steep and tricky ascents and descents, as well as a few narrow sections.
We’ll join the regular Jiankou to Beigou hiking track at Zhenbei Tower. From there we'll head east, following the wall towards Mutianyu.
We'll end up at the northwestern end of the Mutianyu Great Wall and we’ll follow the wall down towards the main park area. On previous visits here we’ve heard the din of all the visitors to Mutianyu off in the distance—surprisingly loud!
