- The Gubeikou Great Wall (2 hours): Gubeikou had been a fortification of significant military importance since China's imperial era. The Great Wall at Gubeikou was built on precipitous mountain ridges which conform to the rolling mountain terrain. Gubeikou Great Wall has 143 beacon towers at an average interval of 156 meters, with the closest two being only 30 meters apart.
- Hike from The Gubeikou-Jinshanling Great Wall(5 hrs) (5 hours): The Gubeikou of the Great Wall is composed of two parts – Panlongshan Great Wall and Wohushan Great Wall, as Wohushan Great Wall is now still completely wild and unrestored, so usually the hiking route is also named for Panlongshan to Jinshanling Great Wall. Visitors will pass several watch towers and beacon towers, which only have foundation stones by weathering. After 2-2.5 hours hiking, visitors might have reached the forbidden section within the military zone, visitors need make a detour and go down to the deep valley and begin the second part much tougher and challenging in bushes or fields. The whole journey is about 15km, can be finished in 5 hours with medium pace.
- Jinshanling Restaurant: Jinshanling Restaurant is located at the foot of Jinshanling Great Wall. The restaurant can serve local Chinese dishes only.

- 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.
