The ‘Chinese Knot’ (also known as the ‘Beijing Knot’) is a spot on the Jiankou Great Wall where three lines of Great Wall intersect.
Nearby the Knot is the iconic ‘Pine Tree on the Wall’, featured in a whole lot of photo albums from the Jiankou Great Wall.
On this trail we hike over from the Beijing side, following part of our Great Wall Spur trail before making the steep climb up to the Chinese Knot.
