The Great Wall Hiking From Jinshanling To Simatai

You will be picked up from your hotel by your guide for your one day tour. This hiking tour is specially designed for hiking lovers. Jinshanling and Simatai are quintessential sections of the great Wall. Jinshanling to Simatai section is a distance of about 10 km. Only partly restored, it's less crowded, and provides a unique view of the Wall, watchtowers and magnificent scenery. A flying fox (optional) operates at the end of the hike to take hikers to the bottom. This provides a spectacular view of the scenery around and the reservoir under the cable car. Comfortable walking shoes and protection from the weather are a necessity. A local guide will be provided for this hike where the hiking rate is moderate. After the tour, you'll be transferred to your hotel.(lunch is inclusive) Note: The Great Wall at Simatai has been closed for major renovation from June 2010. The renovation is estimated to last 3 years. The hiking route now can be done only half way.

Hi,

This is Coco. It is my pleasure to help you.

The Great Wall is the one of the highlights in Beijing. There are straight flights from Macau to Beijing everyday, and it will be a 3.5 hour air travel.

For the visa, all visitors traveling to mainland China, whether for business or pleasure, require a visa. Even for a few hours, you will need a China visa to enter China. Know more about visa, you can visit this website: http://www.chinahighlights.com/faq/travel-tips/visa-passport/what-type-of-visa-should-i-apply-for-my-group-a-group-visa-or-individual-visa.htm .

If you need us to arrange your Great Wall tour, please let me know.

Q
How does the closing of Simatai affect the tour routes and schedules? I am interested in a one day "wild" walk.
