JianKou Great Wall |
|
JianKou Great Wall
The Jiankou Great Wall is located
in Huairou County, 73 kilometres (45 miles) north from
Beijing City. It connects with Mutianyu Great Wall ten
kilometers (6 miles) to the east, and with Huanghuacheng
Great Wall to the west. This section was built in 1368
during the period of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644).
The Jiankou Great Wall is constructed
of large white hill rocks which makes it very noticeable
from a distance. The major section of this Great Wall
is built along a mountain ridge with large cliffs on
each side, and due to the lack of repairs, it is now
one of the most dangerous sections of the entire Great
Wall.
There are several scenic sites that
tourists must see, one of which is the enemy observation
tower known as The Eagle Flies Facing Upward. This observation
tower appears extremely high as it was built on a mountain
which forms the highest section of the Jiankou Great
Wall. Therefore, when an eagle flies there, it can only
do so facing upwards before reaching the top of the
tower.
The Sky Stairs is another famous scenic
spot. At this location of the Wall the stairs go practically
straight up, and they are so narrow that it is barely
possible to obtain a foothold.
Other scenic areas include the Beijing
Knot (the meeting point for three different converging
sections of the Great Wall); the Nine-Eye Tower (a watchtower
with 9 holes like eyes); the Zhengbei Tower (a good
place to watch the sunrise and the sunset) and, the
Cloud Stairs (a section of the Jiankou Great Wall which
rises like a staircase into the white clouds), and many
other enemy observation towers.
Tourists standing on the top of the
Jiankou Great Wall will always experience different
scenes in all directions regardless of the hour or the
seasons or the weather.
Tourists can also visit Wofo Mountain
Resort, where there is an Ancient Dragon Pool which
is formed by springs at the foot of the mountain, and
which contains the biggest breeding place for the famous
rainbow mountain trout in the North of China. This rainbow
trout when eaten fresh is delicious and even the fish
bones can be used to make a soup.
