"A two-day hike along a remote stretch of China? Great Wall affords endless views without the distraction of crowds."



"The Great Wall Adventure Club organizes trips to sleep in a watchtower where soldiers were formerly garrisoned. When night falls, the only thing above is the stars, while the incredible land of the surrounding hills is absolutely silent."

Why You Need to See the Original and Wild Great Wall

 

It is unfortunate that to many people and visitors their only exposure to the Great Wall is at Badaling. While it does have some excellent sights, this section is overcrowded, over-commercialized, and often overwhelming. This is not a true Great Wall experience. We want to show you the true Great Wall, with its mighty peaks and valleys, and its beautiful and mysterious ruins. With the Great Wall Adventure Club you can explore the real Great wall, one that is often unknown to foreign visitors. With us, we can provide you with memorable and lasting trips, hikes, treks and odyssey all across the Great Wall of China, and not just at its sections near Beijing.
