Jiankou Great Wall is also called the "Wild" Great Wall as it is completely unrestored. Shrubs and trees grow on it at many places. Some sections are dangerous and steep with loose and broken bricks. The scenery here is absolutely beautiful and is the most photographed.
We spent 2 days here. The 1st day was spent attempting to climb Arrow Notch and recce Sky Stairs and Eagles Fly Facing Upwards. Our attempts failed as we were not physically fit enough. The 2nd day was spent hiking from Jiankou to Mutianyu Great Wall. We lost 3 precious hours before we even reached the wall as we took a wrong turn near the start point. This journey is 10 kilometres of hilly terrain. We reached the entrance of Mutianyu at 8pm under the moonlight.
This Autumn Hike took us to:
Part 1 - Jiankou to Mutianyu Great Wall
Part 2 - Huanghuacheng Great Wall
Part 3 - Badaling Great Wall
Soundtrack is from the movie - The Myth
It's in Mandarin and Korean and I hope that you will like it even if you don't understand a word. This video is a tribute to the many thousands of people who perished while building this mega structure and to the thousands who died while defending it.
Video recorded by Canon 650D.
