With Heretic1988 ... On the ongoing restoration efforts ... We do not recommend trying to hike here, because of the significant dangers involved, but enjoy the beautiful aerial film, and here's some information about the location. From the filmmaker : "Aerial photography of JianKou Great Wall, West Line-East Line (from Jiuyan Building in the west to Zhenbei Building in the east) is a complete record of all important nodes. It was like witnessing a miracle for the first time. The slender white lines of the white boulders whispered silently on the top of the towering peak, looking up at the huge city wall in front of them, and overlooking the steep curve that leaped up the ridge and spread endlessly, and the wind blew through the masonry. Passing through the gate of the enemy building, a piece of history pushes the dust under your feet to the legend of the ghostly craftsmanship on the mountain at the end of the line of sight, staggering forward, unable to tolerate half a moment of hesitation, faith is as strong as a rock, and it grows wildly between the cliffs, using humble courage to tighten Every stone crevice climbed cautiously, listening to a soul-stirring long song with a startled mind."
