Jiankou Section of the Great Wall, Beijing（箭扣长城）

            By XPan II, 30/5.6. Apr 17, 2021.

Jiankou (Chinese: 箭扣; pinyin: Jiànkòu) is a section of the Great Wall of China. It is seen by many people as the most magnificent part of the Great Wall. 

In English, 'Jiankou,' is translated to 'Arrow Nock' as the shape of the mountain resembles an arrow with the collapsed ridge opening up, reminiscent of an arrow nock. The wall is 20km long and located 73 kilometres (45 mi) north of Beijing in the Huairou District. The Jiankou section of the Great Wall of China is located between the Mutianyu and the Moshikou sections of the Great Wall of China. It is built on a steep mountain ridge and a popular hike amongst visitors. 

The Jiankou section of the wall was constructed in 1368 during the period of the Ming dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, this wall was conntinously rebuilt and reworked up until 1644. It is made from dolomite, a white sedimentary carbonate rock.
