Mini Group: One-Day Simatai West to Jinshanling Great Wall Hiking Tour

Time: 10:00-13:00

This moderately challenging hike offers breathtaking views of the Great Wall from Simatai West to Jinshanling, snaking along the ridge of the mountains, taking you through crumbling, ancient watch towers along the way.

Upon finishing the stairs you will arrive at the Houchuankou Pass, the first among many towers that you will see along the wall. From there, you will be rewarded with stunning panoramic view and even be able to see the Great Wall stretching out to the horizon. This section of the Great Wall is known for being built a top sharp ridge. Hiking along this thoughtfully restored section of the Great Wall will transport you back in time to the heyday of imperial China period and allow you to get a sense of what it must have felt like to be a Ming Dynasty soldier sent to the northern frontier of the Chinese empire to protect the imperial capital, Beijing, against nomadic invaders. Along the way, snacks and water are provided for you to recharge. You will have a late lunch at the Zhuanduokou Pass. After this, you will be transferred back to your hotel at approximately 5:00pm to end this tour.

• Walk along the wall at a more relaxed pace than you would usually
• Stress-free hotel pickup and drop-off are included
• Receive personalized attention in a small group limited to six people

Explore one of the New7Wonders of the World at a more relaxed pace than you would on a typical day trip on a hiking tour of the Great Wall of China from Beijing. You’ll walk between the Simatain and Jinshanling sections—two of the least-crowded parts of the UNESCO World Heritage Site—and delve deeper into the wall’s history with a guide.
