Located about 70 kilometres northeast of central Beijing, Mutianyu was built during the Ming Dynasty as a critical military defence line. Unlike crowded Badaling, it sits amid thick forests with 22 closely spaced watchtowers winding along the mountain ridges. Many towers have battlements on both sides, a rare design on the Great Wall.
The Great wall of Jiankou
Having a quick lunch to refuel for the afternoon's activities, then we visit Jiankou Wild Great Wall. Less crowded than other sections, it is famous for rugged terrain and original, unspoiled ramparts. Built along steep mountain ridges, this wild stretch preserves the raw, authentic look of the ancient Great Wall, perfect for enjoying grand natural views away from tourist crowds.
