5 Days Great Wall Hiking Tour

- The Great Wall -Badaling Section: This very popular section, the first part of the Great Wall that was opened to the public, has been extensively restored. It climbs across superb mountain scenery 70km NW of Beijing. The battlements and watchtowers are high and steep in places, and provide wonderful views across the hills. Wear good walking shoes, and protection from the weather.
- Juyongguan Great Wall: In the District of Changping, 60 kilometers north of central Beijing Juyongguan has always been a pivotal pass on the 10,000 miles Great Wall and it was a crucial defense project to safeguard Beijing in the ancient time.

- Huangyaguan Great Wall-Yellow Cliff 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.

- Great Wall, Simatai: This dizzying section of the Great Wall is for the very fit - it's extremely steep, and unrestored, therefore quite challenging in places. The reward for the energetic who are prepared to tackle it is that it's also very beautiful, far less crowded and has some fascinating architecture. Be prepared!

- Great Wall Jinshanling: A very beautiful, and only partly restored section of the Great Wall, Jinshanling is a 10 km hike from the Simatai section. It's less crowded, and provides a unique view of the Wall, watchtowers and magnificent scenery. Wear comfortable walking shoes and protection from the weather.
