About this tour

3-Day Great Wall Hiking Discovery Tour

Jiankou and Gubeikou’s Wild Great Wall sections showcase the original, unrestored bricks and stones, with varying completeness from one watchtower to another.

The Mutianyu section reflects restoration work from the early 1980s. The Jinshanling section impresses with its rugged, verdant, picturesque landscapes, sturdy original watchtowers, and authentically restored grandeur.

This 3-day hiking journey from Jiankou to Jinshanling will expose you to both the wild and restored sections of the Great Wall.

Conquer the Most Challenging and Magnificent Jiankou Section

The Jiankou section is known for its majesty and steepness. You will hike through its untouched eastern part, which has been left unvisited for centuries.

Explore the Most Remote and Wild Gubeikou Section The Gubeikou section, more desolate and lower in height, offers a comprehensive feel of the Great Wall’s original grandeur. During the hike, enjoy solitude as this section often remains crowd-free, allowing for an exclusive Great Wall experience.

Hike the Most Photogenic Jinshanling Section The Jinshanling Great Wall boasts the most beautiful natural and man-made scenery. You’ll get more photo opportunities here than any other section, with many professional Great Wall photos taken in this area.

Overnight in the Beautiful Gubeikou Water Town After a day’s hike, relax in the hot springs, enjoy a leisurely boat ride on Duck Lake, or admire the stunning night view of the town and the Great Wall from your hotel room’s balcony.
