Warning when you see other sites offering lower prices:
A few accidents in 2006 and 2007 which had
killed several international tourists has forced the municipal
government to order all travel agencies to obtain a legal
license, a better vehicle, to use tolled highways, and to hire
English-speaking tour guides to operate. What we have been doing
is to comply with the government's safety codes and standards.
However, there are still a number of small agents who are not
certified or licensed. They use lower-quality vehicles to bring
tourists to the Wall without a guide. They also drive on bumpy
and highly-jammed two-lane country roads to avoid the highway
toll. Furthermore, they may take you to unwanted shopping on the
way there. Of course they are running their business at a lower
cost. But to us, your safety is our No.1 concern! We have a 100%
safety record since the first day we began to serve our guests.
Travel with us, and your safety is absolutely guaranteed. |

Want to be able to brag to your friends that you slept on the
Great Wall? Now you can with our two fun and exciting Great Wall
camping routes! Stay overnight on the Wall from April through
October except for snowing days.
Route A will take you from Gubeikou to
Jinshanling and on to Simatai. This camping trip combines the
classic Jinshanling-Simatai tour with the underrated Gubeikou,
which was originally built to defend the key northern gateway to
Beijing, and includes many distinctive watchtowers. Now due to
Simatai's renovation project, your trip will move from
Jinshanling to Jiankou and end with Mutianyu.
Route B will take you from Huanghuacheng to
Jiankou, ending at Mutianyu. This is an amateur photographer’s
dream, as Huanghuacheng and Jiankou are full of sweeping
panorama, dramatic peaks, and beautiful ruins. Mutianyu is a
tastefully restored section that is increasing in popularity.
This Route is designed for those who love the outdoors and
trying something new. The part of the wall we will trek is often
empty, giving you the peace and serenity hard to find in
Beijing. At night we will stay in a watchtower on the wall, or
if the weather is too cold, we will room with a local family.
The 22km/13.5 miles will take us about 10-11 hours, and is not
easy, as it includes climbing mountains, peaks, and Great Wall
ruins. Please make sure your health condition is fit enough for
this kind of hike.
If you are dreaming of enjoying a breath-taking sunrise and
sunset on the top of the Great Wall, join us now!

This tour allows for those who want to get an extended stay out
of the hustle and bustle of Beijing. Along with visiting some of
the more
unknown sections of the Great Wall, we will also go to Chengde, and imperial resort town of the last ruling dynasty of
China, the Qing. It is included on the prestigious list of World
Heritage Sites by UNESCO. We will visit the imperial garden of
the Summer Resort, and the Potala Palace, which is a little
piece of Tibet in northern China.
The next day will include a trip to the Panijakou Reservoir and
the Xifengkou Great Wall. Xifengkou is one of the great
novelties of the Great Wall, as some of it is underwater! This
tour is not only for the serious hiker, as we will only hiker
for about 5km/1.5 miles.
This tour also includes a trip to Qianhe Mountain, which is a
vast assortment of dramatic peaks, breathtaking islands, and
mystifying caves.

In addition to our hiking tours, we have also added bus tours
to hike on Jinshanling, Simatai, Mutianyu, Juyongguan, and Badaling. This trip also
includes another free tour to the Ming Tomb’s Dingling Tomb (the
only excavated tomb of the Ming Tombs), and the Ming Tombs’
Spirit Way (built to guard the tombs from evil spirits and
guarded by stone animals and officials).
Our English-speaking guide and professional driver will
accompany you to the Great Wall and bring you back round-trip.
In order to make the cost as low as possible, we’ll group you
and other travelers together into a Toyota mini-van. As long as
a team as a tour group is formed we’ll depart daily. We will
meet you and drop you off at wherever you are staying in
Beijing.
The Great Wall Adventure Club also offers daily bus tours to
the greatest attractions China has to offer. We offer exciting
and informative tours to the Forbidden City, Temple of heaven,
the Lhama Temple, the Summer Palace, the Ming Tombs, as well as
some new sites, such as the Olympic Green.
Group size is kept to within 10 travelers in order to ensure
comfort, and it also allows you to go at your own pace at the
sites. Every morning, our English-speaking guide will pick you
up from your hotel and will come back to drop you off late in
the afternoon. You will receive a friendly call the night before
to confirm with you the pickup time and place.
We also have unique bike tours of the old Imperial City and a
rickshaw tour of the hutongs of old Beijing. By riding on your
own on these two tours you will get a unique and personal lesson
on the beauty and richness of Chinese culture.
