Hike on the Great Wall of China

Today will be rather active as we go for a hike on the Great Wall of China. If necessary, we will split up the group in hikers and non-hikers.

The hiking group meets at 8:00 for the departure. The coach will transfer you to the Jiankou section of the Great Wall in about 1.5 to 2 hours, where you will see some small farm villages and climb through a forest to the „wild“ (i.e. unrenovated) part of the Great Wall. From there the hike takes you on the Great Wall downwards to the renovated section of Mutianyu in approximately 2 hours. For this hike we recommend good shoes, however, outdoor shoes or solid sports shoes are enough, you will not need hiking boots.

The non-hikers start at 11:00 and drive directly to the renovated section of Mutianyu. From the parking lot you will access the Great Wall by cable car, where you will have time to do some easy hiking on the Great Wall. Both groups will then go for a late lunch at a countryside restaurant offering the local specialty: BBQ trout. In the afternoon transfer to Beijing, evening at your own disposal
