The peak of Jiaoshan mountain is 519-meter-high, ranking as the highest peak to the north of Shanhaiguan Pass. Jiaoshan Mountain starts from Old Dragon Head (Laolongtou) and goes through Shanhaiguan Pass. It is the first peak of northern Great Wall climbing up after Shanhaiguan Pass. Therefore Jiaoshan Mountain is noted as "The first mountain of the Great Wall".

Jiaoshan Great Wall was built in Ming Dynasty [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. From the foot of Jiaoshan to the peak, this section is in 1,536 meters totally. The great wall here was built by rocks on the mountain, bricks and some long-shaped stones. Jiaoshan Great Wall was built according to the geography of Jiaoshan Mountain. The average height of the wall is 7 to 10 meters, and width in 4 to 4 meters. When in a cliff or a dangerous slope, the width can turn into 2.7 meters. The dangerous geography of Jiaoshan makes it as a dreamland for hikers and photographers. The Great Wall of this section is marvelous when having a long-distance view. There is a poem to describe the Jiaoshan Great Wall – there are countless difficulties in passes and entrances of the Great Wall, the most dangerous section is located in Jiaoshan [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. When viewing in a long distance, the Great Wall is just looked like a ribbon hanging in the mountain. When having a bird’s view, the pass is just presented in the front of your eyes.
