Tour Description
Pick up from your hotel in Beijing around 8:00am and drive to Gubeiku Great Wall. The 150km drive takes about 2 and half hours. Gubeikou was a strategic pass of the Great Wall in ancient times, offering an important access to Inner Mongolia and northeast of China. The main part of the Gubeikou Great Wall was first built in the Ming Dynasty 1368, and composed of two main sections - Panlongshan Great Wall (the Coiled Dragon Mountain Great Wall) and Wohushan Great Wall (the Crouching Tiger Mountain Great Wall).
You are arranged to hike Panlongshan Great Wall, nicknamed after the same name mountain on which it lies - Panlongshan Mountain. Panlongshan Great Wall is mostly unrestored, original, less tourist and one of the most beautiful sections of the Wall around Beijing. The hike up and down (no cable car ) takes you approximately 2 hours.
After 2-hour hiking on Panlongshan Great Wall at Gubeikou, we have to get off the wall to keep off a military zone nearby which cuts off the wall. Then we have to walk through the path in the field for 1.5 hour. Climb over a hill and soon we will reach Jinshanling Great Wall where we are going to spend one hour for hiking and photo taking.
The Jinshanling Great Wall was first constructed built in the Ming Dynasty. The famous general, Xu Da, of the early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) supervised and directed the construction of the Great Wall. Later, Qi Jiguang led a number of defense works while guarding the north area in 1567. Each tower has its unique feature and look. There are relatively less crowded here at Jinshanling Great Wall, it is a nice place to explore the Great Wall around Beijing.
After the hike from Gubeikou to Jinshanling Great Wall, we will have a late Chinese lunch at a local restaurant before returning your downtown hotel in Beijing.
2. Using toilets at the entrance of the Wall. No toilets on the hiking route. Please always carry toilet paper by yourself.
3. You will return to your hotel around 6:00 pm depending on the traffic and don't arrange any activity in the evening.
4. We have two bottles of water for each person.
5. If you need trekking sticks, please let us know in advance.
6. Wearing pants and long-sleeves even in summer to hike through jungles and bushes.

On the evening before your departure early next morning, you will get a call to your hotel room or a message at your hotel front counter by your tour guide to reconfirm your next morning's pickup time which is normally set around around 8:00 am.
On the morning of your tour departure date, our tour guide will go to your hotel ahead of your pick-up time in the lobby, holding a sign with your name. When you come down to the hotel lobby, just look around for the sign to meet our tour guide.
