DAY-BY-DAY DETAILED ITINERARY:
(B=breakfast, L=lunch, D=dinner)
Day 1 Gubeikou-Jinshanling (L,D; 10 km, 5 hrs)
After an early pick-up from your hotel, your will be transferred directly by a safe van to the Gubeikou section of the Great Wall, where your 3-day hiking adventure will begin. The panoramic view is wonderful – partway along the hike, if the weather is clear, you will be able to see all the way to the Miyun reservoir and the Wangjing Tower in the Simatai Section. Along the way, you will pass a military area where hiking on that area of the Wall is prohibited, you will bypass this area by walking first to an interesting village nearby, and then rejoining the Wall in the Jinshanling section further on. Stay in a nice courtyard hotel near by the Wall.
Day 2 Jinshanling Great wall and Wohushan Great Wall, Jiankou Great Wall (BLD; 8 km; 5 hrs)
After breakfast, you will continue to hike eastward from Jinshanling toward the Simatai section of the Wall. Your hiking on Jinshanling stops at Wuyan tower where you can enjoy a good view of Simatai Great Wall and overlook the surrounding. Then, you will go down to the bottom of Jinshanling, and lunch will be served in a local restaurant.
After lunch, you will take a short ride to Wohushan section of the Great Wall, and spend another 2 hours hiking time there. Wohushan (Crouching Tiger Mountain) Great Wall straddles on the rocky mountains of Wohushan— so named because two distinct peaks resemble a pair of tigers, one looks up and the other bends down. You will be transferred towards Jiankou section of the Wall, where you will enjoy the hospitality of a local family, staying in their guesthouse for the final night (each room with two-beds and private washroom).
Day 3 Jiankou-Mutianyu (BL; 10 km, 4-5 hrs)
Today is special! You will spend the day on the Jiankou section of the Wall, which is recognized as one of most beautiful parts of the “Wild Wall” near Beijing. This is the most enjoyable place for by photographers with less tourists around this area. This section is rough since it's lack of maintenance. Although you will have to be careful walking on it, the opportunity for pictures in this section is unequalled! With memories (and memory cards) full of pictures, you will then have a late lunch at a restaurant near by Mutianyu. After lunch, you will return back to Beijing by the comfortable ride. You will see the beautiful afternoon sunshine alone the way. It's a unforgettable Great Wall hiking trip with various highlights and unique adventures.
