The Jinshanling Great Wall is the most spectacular section of the entire Great Wall of China, bar none. I'm sure the National Geographic Channel must feel the same, as they chose the Jinshanling to film their Great Wall film. The Jinshanling Great Wall is about 2 hours drive from Beijing, the long distance makes it the off the beaten path and least crowded section of the Great Wall, making it popular among hikers and photographers. Visitors to Jinshanling can enjoy hiking along the wall, taking in panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, and exploring the ancient watchtowers. It's also a fantastic spot for capturing breathtaking sunrise or sunset photographs.
Jinshanling Great Wall provides a glimpse into China's rich history and is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in exploring one of the world's most remarkable architectural wonders.I am sure you will leave a lifetime memory there.

5.00If you are looking for a private sunset tour of the Great Wall, look no further. I went out on a limb and booked this tour knowing there were not yet any reviews on Viator. I was so pleasantly surprised by just how well-organized and enjoyable the tour turned out. First, shoutout to CK, our tour guide, for being incredibly communicative and accommodating of our time. We arrived into Beijing South Railway Station at mid-day, and he was promptly there to pick us up so we could make the sunset in time. He waited for us to settle in, get food, etc., before driving us in a spacious transport van to the Jinshanling section. He spoke fluent English and made us feel welcome from the beginning. The conversation the entire day was great and insightful. He also was mindful we had had a long travel day and let us sleep and converse privately on the 2.5 hour trek there and back. Once we were at the Great Wall, he explained in detail the history of the Wall and the best vantage points to take photos. He took photos of my friend and me individually and together, making sure we were satisfied. During the sunset itself at the end of the tour, he stepped away so my friend and I could take it in alone. During that time, he created a slideshow video of our hike which was an awesome surprise. Note that this is a private guided tour unlike other Great Wall tours you may find. That means the guide will accompany you during the hike itself, not just drive there and back. This was perfect for us, as we enjoyed CK’s company, commentary, and incredible photography. As for the Jinshanling section, it is worth every minute of drive time from Beijing. It is the most private section of the Wall free from tourists after a couple watchtowers. Mutianyu and Badaling are closer to Beijing, but the views are not as good, and there are more tourists. This was my third trip to the Great Wall, and the Jinshanling section is the way to go for some epic views. After the tour, CK drove us directly to our hotel and communicated with the hotel staff for us since it was difficult to find. He assisted us with our luggage as well. I truly will treasure the memories from this tour forever. Thanks so much to CK for making a memorable experience for us in China.
