Itinerary:

Our guide will call you the night before the tour to confirm the pickup time, which will be at 7:30 AM or at your request.

You will then drive to the Jinshanling section of the Great Wall, which takes about 2 hours. The adventure begins gently at Jinshanling, where you’ll have approximately 1 hour to take stunning photos at the best viewpoints, guided by our expert.

Afterward, you will walk westward toward the Gubeikou section of the Great Wall. Please note that there will be a detour due to a military area that restricts access to a part of the wall. The trek to Gubeikou will take about 1.5 hours.

Gubeikou is a section of the Great Wall that has not been restored at all and has remained untouched for over 400 years. Most of the towers still exist, making it a fantastic spot to experience the wild Great Wall. The wall, which winds along the mountains, resembles a curled-up dragon (known as Panlong in Chinese). This section is also referred to as the Panlongshan Great Wall.

Your driver will carry a picnic box and wait for you at a Great Wall tower with breathtaking views. You will enjoy your picnic at the top of the wall. (We usually include a bottle of wine for our clients, but if you prefer not to have any alcohol, please let us know in advance.)

After the picnic, you will walk around the Gubeikou Great Wall and finish the hike at the foot of Gubeikou.

Drive back to your hotel at about 6:30 pm.
