Recommended by the National Geographic Adventure Magazine

Challenging Grade:

Our flagship program for Great Wall hikers! This is a re-structured program that our professional English-speaking tour guide is accompanying you throughout the hike. The Beijing municipality has ordered travel agencies to obtain license to provide guided tour for hikers to these sections of the Great Wall as an effective means to safeguard the tourists in transportation and hiking. This is a whole-day tour because it takes about four hours on the road. So, We leave at 8:00 early morning and returns to downtown Beijing at 5:30 p.m.

"Some say that the hike between Jinshanling and Simatai gives you a truly "authentic" wall experience. My view is that any experience with the Wall is authentic, but if you're looking for breathtaking views in relative isolation, combined with some exercise, then this trek is definitely for you," commented tourist writer Sara Naumann in her article about Great Wall hike on About.Com.

This transportation and tour guide fees include the admission passes to Jinshanling and Simatai and the suspension bridge fee between Jinshanling and Simatai. The admission passes are collected by the Great Wall administration bureau. We have pre-purchased those passes for you.

This program is also operated throughout the month of Beijing Olympic Games.
