Drive to the Jinshanling Great Wall, which takes approximately 2.5 hours. Enjoy a 1-hour trek to the best photographic spot along the wall. From April to October, a cable car option is available. You’ll have plenty of time to walk along the Great Wall or relax and take in the stunning views.

Experience breathtaking views from the Great Wall. Located 150 km from downtown Beijing, Jinshanling is beautifully quiet, making it one of the best places for photographers to capture images of the Great Wall. On weekdays or non-holiday times, we often find ourselves as the only visitors on the wall.

FAQS

How challenging is this hike?

This hike is very flexible, going from 5 km to 10 km. When we get to the Wall, you can enjoy it or hike a bit more.

Is the Great Wall we visited full of people?
Jinshanling is far away from the city. It is much quieter than Mutianyu and Badaling. Especially when it was not the weekend or a Holiday, we were the only group on the Wall most of the time. What time does the tour start and finish?
As the sunset time changes daily, our tour usually starts at 10 a.m. and ends at 11 a.m. We will return to downtown Beijing 2.5 hours after Sunset.

What to take for this hike?
Bring your passport with you. Comfortable shoes or boots are essential. We suggest you bring sunscreen, sunglasses, lip balm, and a cap. If you need hiking poles, please let me know one day before the tour.

When does the tour have lunch? Is it ok for vegetarians?
Lunch is usually served after the hike, around 2 pm. We chose a very nice local restaurant with excellent Chinese food. There is a lot of food suitable for vegetarians.

How many bottles of water do I need to bring?
Unlimited water bottles are stored in our car/van, and you must carry them.

Does the tour happen during the rain or snow?
We only cancel the tour during extreme weather conditions. Otherwise, the time goes on. Please check the weather report and be prepared.

What is the tipping or gratuities policy?
Our guides always appreciate tips, though they are not expected. You may choose to give a tip if you believe your guide did an outstanding job and you want to show your appreciation for their efforts. Typically, clients give tips ranging from 50 to 100 RMB per person.
