- Hiking from the Jinshanling Great Wall to Simatai Great Wall (4 hours): Jinshanling Great Wall section is an ideal place for hiking enthusiasts to test themselves against its steep gradients and to enjoy the landscape. 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.
Day 5
- The Huangyaguan Great Wall Hike: Hiking along Huangyaguan Great Wall will take 2-3 hours. This precipitous wall clinging to the steep mountain has served as the guardian of Tianjin for centuries since its completion over 1,300 years ago. It is not dangerous, and features some interesting structures, such as watchtowers, parapets, and fire-pits! - The Huangyaguan Great Wall: The Great Wall at Huangyaguan is characterized as being "impenetrable, dangerous, old and beautiful". Huangyaguan Great Wall was part of a complete fortification consisting of a four-gated fortress, and thick city walls. This precipitous wall clinging to the steep mountain has served as the guardian of Tianjin for centuries since its completion over 1,300 years ago. Sunsets at the Huangyaguan Great Wall, with the glorious reflection off the yellow cliffs, can be overwhelmingly beautiful. Hiking Tips: 1. Wear walking shoes and clothes suitable for outdoor activities. 2. Don't forget to bring water, sunscreen, sun-glasses, and cap etc. 3. Spring and autumn are the best times, when the temperatures and humidity are lower.
