Itinerary
As
the most popular hiking trip of Great Wall around Beijing, it will show you both
Jinshanling and Simatai sections of the wall within 3 hours. Due to the
recent closure of Simatai East section, we can not walk through all the
way to Simtai East. We will get off the wall at Qilin Tower.
The unrestored wall, the watch towers, the beacon towers snake on the
mountain from east to west. You will have chance to meet local farmer
friends, try local home-made food and learn local commnuity development.
It is the best place for keen photographers along the wall. Regarding
fitness it is a medium-level hiking for all ages.


Pick
you up at your hotel in Beijing
at 8 am and drive to Jinshanling. You will start the hiking around
10:30 am, and it will take about 3 hours to complete the hiking. On the
way back into Beijing
we drive by the Olympic venues and you stop to take
photos.

This section offers arguably the finest hiking
anywhere on the Great Wall. It is extremely photogenic, with over 15
watch-towers, and steep gradients that give constantly changing
perspectives and wide, open views. There is fascinating variety in the
watch-towers here. Some have two storeys, others three. Some have flat
roofs, others rounded and others again are pitched with upturned eaves.
This section of the wall are wild, ruined, preserved and original. On a
clear day, it is difficult to fail to take good photographs here.

when you finish the hiking at about 1 pm, your
guide can organize a lunch in a local farmer’s restaurant. You will be

transferred back to city after lunch.
