The Jinshanling Great Wall one-day tour is a favorite for adventurers and photographers. Best Balance of Wild & Restored Wall offers a perfect blend of restored and wild (original) Wall. You can literally walk from pristine renovations to crumbling ruins — all in one hike. It’s like traveling through time. It’s a top pick for hikers: about 6 km of trails with steep climbs, rugged watchtowers, and epic ridge-line views.Not too touristy, but still safe and accessible for most active travelers. Jinshanling sits along a mountain ridge, offering 360° panoramic views — especially dramatic at sunrise and sunset. Unlike Badaling or Mutianyu, Jinshanling sees fewer tourists.Over 30 unique watchtowers in the area — some close together, others with long stretches in between — each with its own design and story. Great for a One-Day Escape!

What To Expect

Jinshanling Great Wall

Your English-speaking guide & private car will pick you up from your hotel lobby at 8am. Then drive to the Great Wall at Jinshanling (approximately 2.5 hours drive). Hike for 3 hours towards Simatai (closed) direction, then walk back to Jinshanling, have a light lunch in a local restaurant. Transfer back to your hotel approximately at around 16:30. The Great Wall at Jinshanling is 13 kilometers (8 miles) long with a total of 90 watch towers. There is a watch tower every 100 metres or so, and in some places the interval is only 50-60 meters. Such a density is really rare on the Great Wall.
