After a 2-hour drive, you will first arrive at Jiankou Great Wall, an unrestored and untouched wild Wall. Jiankou has more twists and turns as it wriggles up the mountain ridge. It has retained its original state without any restoration, and reveals beautiful imperfections, wildness and primitive simplicity, it's regarded as the most precipitous and picturesque section of the Great Wall which was built during the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644).

Great hike despite the detour. We couldn’t do the planned hike to Mutianyu due to officers along the route requiring us to go back down. I was still able to see and hike a part of the Great Wall I’d never seen before. I was grateful for as much as I got to hike and even had the personalized opportunity to visit a tea house after the hike.
Great Experience!

Great experience, started the hike in an area where the wall is in its unrestored state and with almost no other people around. Peter is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and speaks very good English. We would highly recommend this hike.
