Day 1
|
Beijing-Panjiakou Reservoir and Xifengkou Great Wall (L+D,
1.5 hours)
You will meet your guide at your hotel between 7:30-8:00 AM and
drive directly to the Xifengkou Natural Resort, which is located
60km/37 miles northwest of Qinxi County, Hebei province. Upon
arrival, you will take a boat to the
Panjiakou reservoir. Where you
can enjoy a picturesque picnic lunch by the lake and the wall.
 After lunch you will start your afternoon hiking on Xifengkou Great
Wall. For about 5km/1.5 miles. At the Xifengkou section you will
witness the unique spectacle of “the Great Wall under the water”.
Now, due to the construction of the
Panjiakou Reservoir, the main
part of the wall has been submerged by the rising water but it is
still dimly visible, which makes it a unique sight along the Great
Wall. Look down at the Xifengkou Great Wall from the top of the
mountain and you will see that it looks like a giant dragon
zigzagging through the water. The view of the flickering ancient
Great Wall between mountains and blue waves, the straight isolated
watchtowers and beacon towers on the peaks, and the green ranges of
hills all will give you a feeling of wonder and amazement.
That night you will rest up and recharge by staying in a local
farmer’s house. The farmer and family will prepare you a splendid
dinner, and it will also be a memorable experience to dine with a
local family. Maybe you’ll make a few friends along the way! Be sure
to get a good sleep, because you will have a lot to see tomorrow!

Day 2
|
Xifengkou-Beijing (B+L)
After waking up at 7:00AM and having breakfast in the hotel, you
will start hiking at Xifengkou. There you will have the pleasure
of exploring some of the natural wonders of Beijing. The attractions
here rarely get crowded, and if there are tourists its mostly
Chinese ones, so this will feel truly more authentic than visiting
most of the sites in Beijing or more of the well-known sections of
Great Wall.
Due to the construction of the Panjiakou Reservoir, the main part of
the wall has been submerged by the rising water but it is still
dimly visible, which makes it a unique sight along the Great Wall.
Look down at the Xifengkou Great Wall from the top of the mountain
and you will see that it looks like a giant dragon zigzagging
through the water. We'll take a walk along the Xifengkou Great Wall
for two hours.
Afterwards we will drive back to Beijing and arrive at your hotel at
around 7:00 PM.
