  • Jiankou is a section of the Great Wall of China. This section is not only a photographic hotspot but also a hot travel destination due to its unique style, steep mountains and beautiful scenery. 'Jiankou', is translated as 'Arrow Nock' in English, for the shape of the mountain is like an arrow, with the collapsed ridge opening as its arrow nock. Jiankou Great Wall located in the Huairou District 73 km north of Beijing. The Jiankou section of the Great Wall of China is located between the Mutianyu--ten kilometers to the east--and the Huanghuacheng sections of the Great Wall of China. This section of the Great Wall of China has fallen into disrepair and this, along with its location along a mountain ridge bordered by jagged cliffs and steep drop-offs, makes the Jiankou segment of the Great Wall of China potentially dangerous to climb. The Jiankou section of the wall was constructed in 1368 during the period of the Ming Dynasty. It is made of large white rocks which can be seen from a great distance. There are many scenic sites along the Jiankou Great Wall of China, one of which is the watch tower known as "The Eagle Flies Facing Upward". This tower appears extremely high as it was built on a mountain which forms the highest section of the Jiankou Great Wall. The eagles can only do so facing upwards before reaching the top of the tower when they pass through here. The "Sky Stairs" is another famous scenic spot with a precipitous stair whose angle of elevation is 70 to 80 degrees. The stairs are so narrow that it is barely possible to obtain a foothold. Other scenic areas include the Beijing Knot (the meeting point for three walls coming from different directions); the Nine-Eye Tower (a watchtower with three layers, and nine holes which look like nine eyes on each side); 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 watch towers.
  • Jiankou ist ein 9,3 Kilometer langer Abschnitt der Chinesischen Mauer im Pekinger Stadtbezirk Huairou 73 km nördlich von Peking. Der Jiankou-Abschnitt liegt zwischen den Mauerabschnitten Mutianyu – zehn Kilometer östlich – und Huanghuacheng. Sein schlechter Erhaltungszustand und die Lage auf einem von zackigen Klippen und Steilabfällen gesäumten Bergrücken machen eine Begehung gefährlich. Jiankou wurde 1368 während der Ming-Dynastie aus weißem Dolomit erbaut, der aus großer Entfernung sichtbar ist. Der Abschnitt besitzt viele malerische Stellen. Einer davon ist der „Wachturm des Hochfliegenden Adlers“, der auf dem höchsten Teil von Jiankou erbaut wurde. Die „Himmelsstufen“ sind eine weitere berühmte Stelle. Hier steigen Stufen fast senkrecht auf, so dass es schwierig ist, auf ihnen Halt zu finden. Weitere Besonderheiten sind der „Pekingknoten“ – an dem drei verschiedene Abschnitte der Großen Mauer zusammenkommen –, der aufgrund seiner neun Ausgucklöcher benannte „Turm der Neun Augen“, der „Zhengbei-Wachturm“, die „Wolkentreppe“ und weitere Wachtürme.
