9:30 am: We will pick you up from your hotel and drive directly to the Gubeikou section of the Great Wall, where we will begin our two-day hike on the Wall. It is 2.5 hours of driving.
 

Today we will hike for around 10km/6 miles. The Gubeikou Great Wall is winding, ups and downs, with many enemy buildings and different forms. Gubeikou has a dangerous terrain. In the middle section of Shanhaiguan and Juyongguan, steep mountain roads are dangerous, which is where Qing emperors go to the northeast to worship ancestors, hunt, and patrol.
 

The Jinshanling Great Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while 1/4 of it is restored, allows you to have a more intimate experience with the Wall.  This afternoon, you'll watch the sunset while walking along the Wall.  
 

Then we'll take you to have a gorgeous Chinese countryside style dinner served by a local housewife. Before it gets dark, we'll go up to the mountain and sleep overnight in a watchtower.  We'll prepare the necessary camping facilities, including tents and sleeping bags, so you don't have to bring anything but yourself. Here it is the sound sleeper's paradise - let the mountain valley and the Great Wall echo your snoring sound!

 We will wake up at 7:30 AM with breakfast at the hotel. We will then continue our trek, this time from Huanhuacheng to Xishuiyu.
 

Huanghuacheng, like Jiankou, is fast becoming popular with hikers and tourists who are looking for something a little different in their Great Wall experience. The wall here is a combination of restored and unrestored areas, giving your hike a bit more variety and adventure. When you reach the middle of the wall, you will be able to see that the countryside is swathed in yellow, as masses of wildflowers come into bloom. We will then cross over onto the Xishuiyu section.

Today’s hike is quite special-part of the wall underwater! In 1974 China built the Xishuiyu Reservoir. Some low-lying sections of the wall are submerged underwater.  
 

Following our hike today, our driver will take us back to Beijing, where you will be dropped off at your hotel, ending the tour.
 

In the afternoon, we will drive back to Beijing and arrive at your hotel around 5:00 PM.
