Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Your guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel at 8:00 AM.It takes 2 hours drive to the village and another 30 minutes walking to the wall. The Beijing Knot is where three sections of the Great Wall intersect and provides breathtaking panoramic views that include both Jiankou and the nine-eyed Tower. After a short break, we will start the first of two rock climbs as we follow the wall. The first climb consists of loose stones and requires good balance. The second climb is a shorter but more difficult vertical climb on stable stones. Once you make it to the top, you’re reached the place where the eagle flies upside-down! After another short break, we will descend down two very steep staircases, eventually making it to TianTi (Heaven’s Stairs). Yes, we have to walk down to get to heaven!  Afterwards we will leave the Great Wall at the beginning of the JianKou section and hike through the forest and some tree groves to our pick-up point in the small village that sits in the shadow of many miles of the Great Wall (Xizhazi). From here you will be amazed looking back to what you have accomplished. This hike is for fit hikers who are not afraid of heights. Total time is 6 hours from start to finish. This hike covers quite a few of the major Wild Wall spots and is not one to be missed!    Hiking shoes with good tread recommended. Have lunch in the local restaurant after challenging hiking.

About Beijing

Beijing, China's capital for centuries, holds imperial palaces, sacred temples and stretches of the Great Wall within reach of its modern boulevards.

At the city's heart, the Forbidden City spreads behind vermilion walls, a labyrinth of halls and courtyards that housed the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Tiananmen Square lies to its south, and the hill of Jingshan Park to its north gives the finest view over its golden roofs. The Temple of Heaven, set in a park where locals practise tai chi and dance, is a masterpiece of imperial design.

Top-ranked sights in Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall, Forbidden City (Palace Museum), Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang).
