Itinerary
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.
The USP of this trip package is its focus on remote, atmospheric sections of the Wall, allowing for a profound, contemplative experience. Accommodation, transport, meals, and expert guidance are all included, ensuring a seamless adventure for those seeking a deeper connection with China’s legendary past.
