Jiankou is a section of wild Great Wall located 85 kilometers (53 miles) from Beijing downtown. It is one of the most dangerous Great Wall sections. Due to the disrepair and exposure to wind and sunshine for years, many parts of Jiankou Great Wall have cracked and collapsed which is full of dilapidated walls and overgrown with weeds. Besides, built on steep mountain ridges, some places have almost been vertical precipices without any supporting points. There are also many abrupt slopes composed of soil and rubble. Therefore, Jiankou Great Wall is only recommended to adventurers with rich climbing experience and courage.
