I hiked the great wall in Oct and the whether was just fine, a little bit hot during the day (30 Centigrade, I think), but it was cold when I was sleeping on the wall during the night, my sleeping bag was not warm enough..... I hiked from Gubeikou to Jinshanling for the first day and continue the hike to Mutianyu, I loved it very much.
I like this hiking package on the great wall for 2 days in Jinshanling and Simatai, these section of the great wall is the origional part of the wall from Ming Dynasty, unlike the Great Wall in Badaling, which was rebuild lately.
