Hearty hike to unrestored portion of the Great Wall and Summer Palace walking tour

5.00Our guide, Peter, was wonderful on this adventure. Started out with an easy hotel pickup in a new car, travel 90 minutes to a rural area for the start of an hour long steep hike up to the unrestored part of the Great Wall, an hour climbing around the sections of the wall, hiking down for 30 minutes before a fantastic place for lunch, with a Summer Palace walking tour to wrap up the day before hotel drop off. We felt safe the entire time but wished we had brought hiking boots as the hike was on rocky ground and very steep. Peter brought hiking poles for us and they were extremely helpful as well as water for us to drink for all the exertion. I was hoping to see the wall go into the water at Huanghuacheng, but we did not see the lake or a restored section of the wall on this trip. The Summer Palace was stunning and another tour guide, Sue, came along to share facts about the location with us. The food was AMAZING and we enjoyed the adventure!
