The Jiankou (Arrow Nock) section of the Great Wall is located 73 kilometers north of Beijing.It connects with Mutianyu Great Wall ten kilometers to the east and with Huanghuacheng Great Wall to the west.This section was built in 1368 at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, about six hundred years ago.The Jiankou section of the Great Wall is constructed of large white hill rocks which makes it very noticeable from a distance.The major section of this part of the Great Wall is built along a mountain ridge with large cliffs on each side, and due to the lack of repairs, now it is one of the most dangerous sections of the entire Great Wall.A hike on Jiankou Great Wall can be quite dangerous and challenging.Since it is wild and not an official tourist attraction, it is highly recommended that you do not attempt it if you are not fit and well-prepared.
