 Built to ward off enemies in ancient times, today
the Great Wall brings together people from all corners of the world.
A must see for anyone going to China, even a few hours along the
fabled Great Wall is the experience of a lifetime. Hiking along the
Great Wall, however, is substantially different than simply making
the usual short visit. You will not only accept a challenge
physically, but also obtain a deeper understanding and appreciation
of Chinese history
 and culture, as well as man's creative power. In
addition, you have the chance to visit and explore beautiful
sections of the Great Wall that most people will never see.
There are several sections of Great Wall surround
Beijing. About 70 km to the northwest, is the famous Badaling Great
Wall where most t ravelers visit; about 90 km to the north, is the
Mutianyu Great Wall which is becoming more and more popular; about
120 km to the northeast, is the impressive Simatai Great Wall which
is also starting to become popular now. But up to now, there are
still only few travelers have been to the Jiankou Great Wall and the
Gubeikou Great Wall. In this tour, we will take you to trek from
Beijing Knot to Mutianyu via Jiankou, then trek from Gubeikou to
Simatai via Jinshanling.
