9. Jiankou Great Wall, China



Jiankou is a section of the famous Great Wall of China which happens to be one of the most popular among travelers and photographers alike.



Jiankou has unique steep mountains and insanely beautiful scenery. 'Jiankou' means 'Arrow Nock' in English, called this name because the mountain is shaped like an arrow.



The climb, however, could be dangerous because this section has fallen into disrepair, leaving the path filled with jagged cliffs and steep drop-offs.



While other parts of the wall have been turned into tourist attractions, the Jiankou section has been left largely untouched and therefore usually attracts the more adventurous types.
