On a clear day, the views from the top of Heituo Mountain (1,530m) are amazing—you're looking down on the entire Jiankou Great Wall, and you can easily see all the way back to Beijing's CBD.

Guess what? This was a really clear day! Photos below!

After we got out of the forest the views opened up. In this photo you can just see Nine-Eyes Tower and the ‘Big West’ Wall.
