About the Retreat:

A weekend into the wildest section of the Great Wall, feel the pulse of what was happening as the final protection of that time of the heart of mainland China. Experience and imagine the life in the fierce environment while at the same time stunning nature, a great mixture of the master piece of both nature and mankind... 

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 it is an ideal place for adventurous and experienced hikers and photographers, what people can see appears on picture album and 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 of 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.

Hiking Challenge I:

In Jiankou wild great wall, there are some parts very steep going up, after hundreds of years of corrosion, the stone stairs disappear.
Some hikers try to walk up with rope support, and there is still risk of hit by a small falling stone. The most safe way is to hike on the side to cross this part.

The side way walk has small path, one side will be a bit empty, but not totally like a cliff. Most of the people they can walk cross, with their backpack.

If you are very  afraid of high, please consider this part.
Usually this first part we need to cross, the walk will take only 5-8min.
And there is another part to walk cross need 30 min cross in mud path, that part will be not like one side empty, just walk up and down a bit steep.

Hiking Challenge II:
​
As we mentioned, some part the stone stairs are very steep, and after repair, the new stairs are more stable but still steep.

Usually we will go with a rope support, and you can still walk down with step on narrow stairs one foot by one foot.

Or the other options will be rope support and walk down on the side way.
