About the Retreat:
Six days explore the gems of Beijing, the Hutongs, authentic Great Wall and its countryside lifestyle.
Live the histories in the most influential capital of China and experience in an adventurous way to re-live the history by climbing the wildest Great Wall separator of the Mongolian neighbours at the time. Relax after the wild Great Wall hike in a local village in the special period of time to re-harmonize with friends, nature and what inspires in life, waiting for a brand new start.
The Jiankou is a section of the Great Wall of China. It is located between the Mutianyu Great Wall- ten kilometers to the east and the Moshikou sections of the Great Wall of China. As one of the most famous and dangerous sections that were constructed in Ming Dynasty, Jiankou retains its original appearance since its construction, and an ideal place for adventurous and experienced hikers and photographers, which people can see on a picture album and a post card of the Great Wall frequently. It was constructed based on “The Ox Horn Edge Wall" mountain, it is translated as 'Arrow Nock' in English, because the shape of the mountain is like an arrow, with the collapsed ridge opening as its arrow nock.
"Beijing owns the most beautiful part of the Great Wall, but you will not feel that unless you are standing on the top the Jiankou.’"Qi Jiguang said so, as a national hero on Chinese history, he also took charge on constructing Jiankou section when he was nominated as the Jinzhou Governor.
