Climb and Splash at Jiumenmen

Climb and Splash at Jiumenmen Water Great Wall! 🚶♂️💦🧒
Get ready for a fun day out at Suizhong’s Jiumenmen Water Great Wall Scenic Area—a unique stretch where historic stonework meets splashing rivers. It’s especially perfect for families with younger explorers, as this section offers a gentle climb (kids aged 4-6 can easily reach the top!) and plenty of spots to play, photograph, and picnic.

🛤️ Route & Must-Do Experiences:
Start at the entrance in Lijiabao Township and follow the well-marked trail along the Great Wall, which cleverly twists alongside waterfalls and natural pools. Let the kids count arches and mini-towers, then hit the summit where panoramic views await. If you’re visiting in summer, bring water shoes—a few places are ripe for wading and skipping stones!

📸 Photo Spots:
Snap epic shots of your little ones crossing ancient bridges, with cascading water as your backdrop. Mid-way up, don’t miss the wall’s curve reflecting in turquoise pools—super “insta-worthy.” The summit viewpoint delivers sweeping valley shots with the wall snaking off into the horizon.

💡 Visiting Tips:
Arrive early (gates open at 8:00 AM) to beat the heat and crowds. Pack snacks, sun hats, and lots of water. The trail is well maintained but some stones get slippery near water—hold hands on tricky bits. Strollers are best left behind. There are bathrooms and shaded picnic spots near the entrance.

⚠️ Precautions:
Watch slippery steps around the water sections, and keep an eye on little ones if they paddle. Parts of the wall get hot midday, so avoid walking in peak sun hours if possible. Follow posted safety signs.
