Day 01
Hike from Jinshanling Great Wall and Camping on Gubeikou Great Wall
Pick up from your hotel in Beijing around 10:30am. and head to Jinshaling Great Wall. The 150-km drive takes about 2 and half hours.

This hiking tour takes about 3-4 hour for about 5 km ( 15 watchtowers ). This section of the Great Wall is wild, ruined, preserved, original and somewhere half restored with great photogenic opportunities. We have to get off the wall at Kylin Tower, and cannot hike to Simatai Great Wall direction due to the temporary closure of Simatai Great Wall.
At the end of the hike on Jinshanling Great Wall, continue to drive to Gubeikou Village where you will have Chinese dinner at a local villager's farmhouse. After dinner and it is getting dark, then walk up on to one of the towers on the wall for overnight camping in a tent. We offer tents, mats, sleeping bags and fashlights. No electricity and no plumbing. Take all your necessities on to the wall for next morning's hike since we start to walk on Gubeikou Great Wall directly from where you are camping.
