This program is an incredible way to get the best out of your short time in China. In just 4 days you will get to go on the 3 most popular Great Wall hikes. We’ll start out with the trek from Jinshanling to West Simatai, a hike that combines classically restored Great Wall along with its natural and unrestored state. If you come in the spring or summer, you’ll see that the surrounding countryside is bathed in the glow of blooming yellow wild flowers.
Our program will conclude with a trek from Jiankou to Mutianyu, which, like the Jinshanling-Gubeikou-Simatai West portion, also features restored and natural Great Wall. The Jiankou-Mutianyu hike has risen rapidly in popularity, thanks to the amazing views and vistas that these two sections provide. Finally, when leaving Mutianyu, you have the option to descend the wall by way of toboggan, a fun and thrilling experience that shouldn’t be missed! These two hikes are a photographer’s fantasy, as you’ll have loads of opportunities for stunning views and pictures.

Jiankou is the part where the shape of the mountain looks like an arrow, with the collapsed ridge opening as its arrow nock. It is known for its ruggedness and wild beauty, and you will be in awe of the marvelous views it affords. As soon as we reach Jiankou we will see a deserted watchtower that gives you a panoramic view of the entire valley. In the early morning the view is priceless with its morning fog. This is the pinnacle of exotic Great Wall scenery.
Once we descend from the Great Wall we will spend the night at a farmer’s inn.

From Jiankou we will cross over onto Mutianyu, a section of the Wall that has been largely restored. Although it has gotten a face-lift, it avoids the army of tourists that plague Badaling. Mutianyu offers some breathtaking views of the valley and wall below, and if you look to your right you’ll see a large sign engraved in the side of the mountain encouraging you to “Cherish the teachings of Chairman Mao.” Mutianyu has also become popular for visiting foreign leaders and celebrities.
