Experience history beneath your feet as you trek the ancient stones of the world’s most iconic wall. The "Walking the Great Wall" tour is a challenging, nine-day hiking adventure starting and ending in Beijing, with forays through Huanghuacheng and Jiankou. Designed for experienced travelers, this journey takes you away from the crowds to quieter, semi-ruined sections, revealing the true scale and majesty of the Great Wall.
Each day offers a new perspective—from romantic, weathered stretches to meticulously restored segments, you’ll witness the evolution of this 2,000-year-old marvel. Along the way, immerse yourself in rural Chinese life, then return to Beijing to reflect on the dynamic blend of ancient history and modern energy.
