6-day Great Wall Trekking with Camping from Beijing to Tianj

---

Start your adventure at Stone Gorge Pass (Shixiaguan), 5 km from Badaling. There are high mountains, deep gullies, and dangerous passes, the Great Wall and the Walls are connected, and the piers are facing each other. The original preservation is full of broken walls. Tonight, we'll move to Huanghuacheng part of the Great Wall and sleep in the Good Fortune hostel or camp on the Great Wall there.

The Jiankou Great Wall is the most famous wild Great Wall in Beijing. Many classic photos of the Great Wall publicized by the Great Wall are taken here. This section of the Great Wall is backed by steep mountains and has not been artificially renovated. It looks very simple and natural and is an excellent place for photography. The middle section is the most quintessential area of the Jiankou Great Wall, with many dangerous and beautiful landscapes such as Beijing knot, eagle flying upside down, and ladders.

From Jiankou, journey through scenery right out of Mutianyu. The Great Wall at Mutianyu is built on a cliff's edge, which is a dangerous place to live. The Great Wall at Mutianyu also has a "Spur Wall," a high ridge mountain beam on the outside and inside the Great Wall. It is the only one of the most popular places globally, and it is one of the most popular sites in the world. A few meters to dozens of meters, and the enemy building built here, the locals called "knife to the building." Try toboggan slide down from the Wall. Transfer to Gubeikou. Camp on the Great Wall for the second night.

Explore Gubeikou, which is the access from the North China Plain to Inner Mongolia Plateau. Since ancient times, it has been known as the Xiongjiao, a place where "the throat is strangled and tends to the Shuozi Desert, and the sky stays locked and keyed and pillows the Xiongguan." The most recent fighting took place in 1933. That year Japanese troops invaded Beijing from Gubeikou and fought the Chinese defenders, killing more than 5,000 people on both sides. Overnight in a hotel at Jinshanling.

Hike 3 hours from Jinshanling to West Simatai. See both the Wall in the deteriorated wild state to the restored. Here the terrain is low, easy to attack, and hard to defend, the Wall is very thick and robust, the beacon tower is majestic and tall, the fortress is scattered with densely packed buildings and towers. Intensively, there are 158 of them. We will drive to Huangyaguan Peace Fort complete the last section of the Great Wall in this trip tomorrow. Overnight in a hotel at Huangyuaguan. 

Enjoy a four-hour hike from the Peace Fort to Huangyaguan Pass and the Sky Ladder, a stunning section of the Great Wall known for its steepness and beauty. The Pass is flanked by sheer cliffs and rugged hills, creating a formidable defense that is called "one man's barrier, ten thousand men's barrier." At dusk, the sun casts a golden glow on the peaks, giving the Pass its name of Yellow Cliff Pass. 

We did it! We conquered the Great Wall in six amazing days of adventure and discovery. We are so proud of ourselves and each other for this incredible feat. We can't wait to get back to Beijing and celebrate our victory. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget.
