The Great Wall, Our Way

BY JEANNIE RALSTON, JULY 31, 2021

A two-day hike along a remote stretch of China? Great Wall affords endless views without the distraction of crowds.

USA TODAY Travel uses Great Wall Adventure Club as one of the major sources to recommend travel operators for Great Wall 1-day and 2-day adventures and offer Great Wall walking tips in the article "Travel Guide for the Great Wall at Mutianyu in China" and "Walking the Great Wall of China."

 

Just as with the Olympics two years ago, once again China found itself on the world stage, this time with the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. The expo was the biggest in the expo’s 150 plus years of history in terms of expected visitors, and countries participating. We were one of the first travel companies to offer comprehensive tour packages to the expo, and are business was so esteemed that we got a write up in the prestigious The Wall Street Journal. Now that the expo has come and gone, we find ourselves still striving to be the best travel organization, as we continue to look for and develop new and exciting travel programs across this wondrous and still mysterious land.

The outdoorsman: Stay overnight on the Great Wall of China

When people come to the Great Wall of China, they want to explore the history and see why it was built. A day trip to the tourist sites won’t achieve that, but a sleepover on one of the world’s most storied ruins certainly will. The Great Wall Adventure Club organizes trips to sleep in a watchtower where soldiers were formerly garrisoned.

The interview covers why the "wild" Great Wall is a better experience then one of the restored sections, where you can find the underwater Great Wall, the Great Wall's founding history and its strategic purpose, and the Great Wall's future.

     When it comes to considering your Great Wall tour and China tour provider, here are some other factors to consider: We have the most efficient communication channel available to Chinese travel industries. While most Chinese agents take off weekends and nights, we don’t. We understand our customers can't afford waiting for more than 15 hours or even 72 hours to hear back from us. And when a client books a tour, it usually involves frequent contacts. Only Great Wall Adventure Club can respond to clients within one hour or almost instantly. GWAC’s office works according to a Western schedule. In turn, most "companies" that you will find on Google who provide similar services, are often a one-person business, not an organization. As a result, they usually don't have qualified tour guides able to lead their programs.
