One of the best reasons to get out into the countryside surrounding Beijing in late September-early October is to see all the fantastic colors as the leaves change. The Jiankou Great Wall is a great spot to usher in fall, and is where the inner and outer lines of Beijing’s Great Wall join, wrapping around the ridge lines that surround Xizhazi Village. There are numerous options for varying wall hikes here and many of the trails that lead up to the wall pass through forests of deciduous trees, making for a colorful climb.

5.00Larry was our driver to the Great Wall. Throughout our experience, he was was on time every step of the way. During the drive, he gave us a good history of The Wall. While hiking, he purchased discount tickets online for the Kung Fu show in the Red Theatre for us. He met us out front of the theatre the next night 30 minutes prior to the show to give us the tickets. After realizing we paid him too much, he found us in the theatre to return the extra money. You can trust Larry will take care of you at an honest price.

5.00It was a really great tour. Our driver Bill was polite and patient, giving us great directions onto the wall. Once there we were treated to some stunning views, the challenge of some parts made it all the more adventurous! Would recommend!

5.00It was a great trip, Larry picked us up from the hotel, was very punctual, outside waiting right on time. When he drove us to the start of the hike his car was nice and comfortable, and he directed us in the right direction, good directions, the hike through wild Jiankou was beautiful, and then it was nice to see the restored section at Mutianyu. At the end he was waiting right where he said he would be. Great trip. And then he dropped us off at a restaurant on the way home, very convenient.
Awesome Trek
