Xiaojinshan TowerStart · SightFrom Zhuanduokou, climb the wall and head east, passing Xiaojinshan Tower and General Tower. General Tower is the highest point of Jinshanling; from its top you can overlook the Great Wall winding like a giant dragon along the ridge—this section is the highlight of the east line. About 1.5 hours. Why this route: the east line has the densest watchtowers and the widest views; General Tower is a must-reach high point and the best spot for panoramic shots.

General's Towerabout 310 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
-
Dongfang Terraceabout 2450 m (straight line) from the previous stop · SightIf you have energy, continue east to Dongfangtai, where watchtowers are even denser and Simatai Great Wall is visible on clear days; if time is limited, retrace your steps from General Tower and descend. Why this route: the Dongfangtai direction offers more photo spots and fewer tourists—a good extension for photography and in-depth sightseeing.
-
West Wuyan Towerabout 2060 m (straight line) from the previous stop · SightWith ample time, return to Zhuanduokou and turn to the west line, strolling toward Xiwuyan Tower. The west line is quiet, and at dusk the Great Wall silhouette against the setting sun is at its most atmospheric. Why this route: the west line is peaceful and faces northwest—the top choice for sunset at Jinshanling, with the best photo results.
