The Jiankou Section is built of large white hill rocks which makes it very visible even from a wide expanse. The chief section of this Great Wall is built along a mountain edge with large cliffs on all sides, and as there is lack of proper maintenance, it is now one of the most hazardous sections of the entire Great Wall

There are quite a lot of picturesque sites that visitors should see at JianKou Section of the Great Wall. One is the enemy inspection tower known as 'The Eagle Flies Facing Upward'. This surveillance tower is built on the highest peak at JianKou. Therefore, when an eagle flies there, it can only do so by flying upwards to reach the tower. The 'Sky Stairs' is another renowned attractive spot at JianKou Great Wall. At this location, the steps of the wall are so narrow that it is hardly possible to gain a foothold.



Other beautiful locations at JianKou Section of the Great Wall include the 'Beijing Knot' which is taken to be the meeting point for 3 different converging sections of the Great Wall, the 'Nine-Eye Tower', considered to be a watchtower with 9 eye-like holes, the 'ZhengBei Tower', a good place to watch the sunrise and sunset, and the Cloud Stairs a section of the JianKou Great Wall which rises like a staircase into the clouds.
