Jinshanling Great Wall
The Great Wall at Jinshanling is one of the best-preserved parts of the Great Wall with many original features. The pictures of this section often show in China's official images of the Great Wall. Jinshanling is a remote and relatively isolated section of the Great Wall. You can find many poems and tablet writings on the Wall left when Qi Jiguang directed the rebuilding of this section of the Great Wall 500 years ago. Meticulous detail is evident in the construction of the Wall. The uneven steps meant to slow down advancing troops should they make it onto the Wall. The narrowing curves and paths limit the invaders' movement, making them vulnerable to the defending army. You will enjoy the history with 3.5 hours of walking. After lunch, our camping manager will transfer you to Gubeikou, an older and the oldest section of the Great Wall near Beijing. Here you will have the chance to walk to this part of the Wall to watch the splendid sunset.
The Great Wall of Gubeikou
Gubeikou Great Wall occupies a strategically important location, which is difficult to access. Situated between Shanhaiguan Pass and Juyongguan Pass, and about 62 miles to Beijing, the bastion is protecting the northern gateway to the capital. This part of the Wall is precisely the battlefield between the Chinese resistance army and invading Japanese troops in 1931. You will see the splendid sunset here (weather permitting) and take the photos that only a sunset walk can make possible.
Watch the Magnificent Sunrise from the Great Wall of China and Return to Beijing in the morning

Extraordinary experience of two days knowing thoroughly the Great Wall

5.00Thanks to this tour we have known several very different sections of the Great Wall, some in the wild like Gubeikou, others partially renovated like Jiankou and also Mutianyu section completely renovated. We have also been able to camp in an original tower of the Ming Dynasty! Our guide Oliver has been very friendly and patient and has given us several very interesting and enjoyable explanations. It has been an extraordinary experience as we have been able to visit several spectacular areas of the wall that are closed to the public. The tour organization has been great and the meals, dinner and breakfast delicious! Finally, the transfers were very comfortable and the driver was very friendly.
Experience of a lifetime!

5.00We just completed a two day trek on the Great Wall with our English-speaking guide, Louis. He was so knowledgeable and caring - we had 5 children with us, aged 8 - 12. He let them run ahead when it was safe, and held the line when it wasn't. He guided us through nearly 20k of walking, an overnight stay, and three delightful meals. The experience was once in a lifetime for our family and friends, and we are so grateful for his expertise and patience.
Coolest Experience Ever

5.00We had to book our trip with them last minute and they were awesome! We had a group of 20 young adults and everyone had an amazing time. The hike area was so beautiful and we got to hike for about 3 hours. They picked us up from your hotel, drove us to the wall, did the hike, provided dinner and breakfast, provided camping gear (which we didn’t have the pack with us- we camped near a village, so we pick up our gear there and carried it the 100 meters to the wall), camped on the wall, watched the sunrise and then they drove us back. They gave us a great student discount and our guide spoke English and was funny - Aaron is the best :) Seriously we could not be more pleased with how this experience turned out!
