Camping Rules

To ensure a safe and peaceful camping experience on the Great Wall, please follow these rules:

No open flames or smoking are allowed at any time.
Please clean up all trash before leaving the tower. We recommend bringing your own trash bags.
Camping should end by 4–5 AM to allow day tourists to pass freely. However, you are welcome to remain on the Wall during the day.
Drones are strictly prohibited due to the proximity of a Chinese military facility.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Enjoy your time on the Great Wall!

Let me know if you want a more casual, formal, or multilingual version!

Free Hotel Stay

Our camping center is also a hotel. We offer an experience that seamlessly blends adventure with relaxation. Whether you're looking to spend the night under the stars on the historic Wall or prefer the coziness of a hotel room, we've got you covered.

With the assurance of 24/7 hot water and comfortable beds, you will stay in the hotel instead of camping if the weather doesn't permit or if you don't feel quite well. It will be totally free to use the hotel. It's the perfect retreat for travelers seeking flexibility and peace of mind.
