WHERE WE GO

BRIEF ITINERARY

Day 1: Oceanside Old Dragon's Head and Shanghaiguan Pass

Kick-off your journey with a 4-hour drive to Shanhaiguan, south of the Bohai Sea.  Savor breathtaking scenery the Great Wall meets the sea.  The Great Wall here looks like a dragon's head poking into the sea and dancing in the waves. Stay at a beautiful courtyard hotel in the ancient ton of Shanhaiguan Pass. Local lunch and dinner. 

Day 2: Jiaoshan

Walk 4 hours at Jiaoshan (Horn Mountain), the first actual mountain the Great Wall passes west.  Its peak is a flat item and can seat hundreds of people. The giant boulders are sagging as if a dragon head wears horns and so the name. Stay in the same ancient town hotel at Shanhaiguan.

Day 3: The East Qing Tomb and Huangyaguan Pass

Enter the World Heritage Site of The East Qing Tomb and explore the best-preserved and largest extant royal tombs complexes in China.  These royal dignitaries who once dominated the country's destiny and played critical roles in the Qing dynasty's political scene are now sleeping here. Head up to an overlook for Huangyuan Great Wall (Yellow Cliff Pass) for 1 hour.  Lodge at Huangyaguan hotel. 

Day 4: The Peace Fort and Huangya Skyladder

Trek four hours from the Peace Fort to Huangyaguan Pass and the Sky Ladder, famous for its steepness and splendor. The east and west sides of the Pass are like cliffs, with steep and majestic hills, renowned for their "one man's barrier, ten thousand men's barrier." As the peaks reflect a thousand golden lights when the sun shines in the west at sunset, it is named Yellow Cliff Pass. Drive to Jinshanling Great Wall. Overnight in a courtyard hotel by the Wall.

Day 5: Jinshanling and West Simatai, and Camping on the Great Wall

Walk three hours from Jinshanling to West Simatai. The Great Wall's winding and majestic path, and the view from the top of the Wall, is magnificent. It rises and falls between the mountains and the rivers, and the situation is incredibly majestic. Here the terrain is low, easy to attack, and hard to defend. The Wall is very thick and robust, and the beacon tower is magnificent and tall. The fortress scatters with densely packed buildings and towers. Intensive, there are 158 of them. Drive to Gubeikou to camp in the General's towers, the headquarters in every battle. 

Day 6: Jinshanling and Gubeikou

Hike 4.5 hours toward Jinshanling from where you camp last night at Gubeikou, the battlefield where the Chinese army fought against the Japanese invasion in the 1930s.  The entire Gubeikou Great Wall remains original, very much like a sense of vicissitudes, and the broken walls and bullet holes make you feel as if you were there. A time of war. Seeing the Wall like this, in the light of the setting sun, is tear-jerking. Move to Jiankou Section and stay in Miss-U-Much hostel.

Day 7: Jiankou and Mutianyu

Gaze up at the peak of the Jiankou section of the Great Wall, whose shape of the mountain looks like an arrow, with the collapsed ridge opening as its arrow nock.  The Great Wall here is one of the most precipitous and majestic sections of the Great Wall, heavily weathered and untouched by any artificial embellishment. Walk across to Mutianyu to try the toboggan sleigh, fun for grown-ups and kids. Many of the Great Wall is in a bare spot where you can only see yellow sand and dust, but Mutianyu is green all the time, so Mutianyu enjoys " The Great Wall, Mutianyu, a unique show" is famous for its beauty. That ends our 1-week adventure. Return to Beijing in the late afternoon.
