Day-by-day Hiking Itinerary

Day
1

Huanhuacheng-Jiankou

Your guide will meet you at your hotel between 7:30-8:00 AM and take you by private van to the Huanghuacheng section of the Great Wall. Today we will be hiking about 6km/3.5 miles. When you reach the middle of the wall you will be able to witness the lush yellow flowers blooming (during the late spring and early summer) in the surrounding countryside.

On this section of the wall you will pass by many forts, beacon-towers and guard towers, including Yaoziyu Fort, which is the best preserved. Today’s hike, while not very long, is quite unusual; part of the wall is underwater! The name of this body of water is called Jintag lake, and the water is cold and clear, being fed by numerous springs.

After the hike we will drive by private van to the Jiankou section, you'll sleep in a local farmer's house. After a long day at the wall, you will be sure to enjoy a soothing night with the farmer and his family, and maybe you will even make a few new friends! The mama and papa in a local farmer's house will provide you with a delectable dinner, which is sure to recharge you for the hike tomorrow.

Day
2

Jiankou-Mutianyu

The day begins at 7:30 AM, after breakfast we will drive by private van to the Jiankou section of the Great Wall and start hiking to Mutianyu. The hiking today will cover about 10km/6miles. The Jiankou section is known for its ruggedness and wild beauty, and you will be in awe of the marvelous views it affords. Be sure to see the watchtower known as “Eagle on the peak”, this tower is extremely high and forms the highest reaching point of the Jiankou section. This is the pinnacle of exotic Great Wall scenery.

From Jiankou you will cross over onto Mutianyu, a section of the wall that has been largely restored. Although it has gotten a face-lift, it avoids the army of tourists that plague Badaling. Mutianyu offers some breathtaking views of the valley and wall below, and if you look to your right you’ll see a large sign engraved in the side of the mountain encouraging you to “Cherish Chairman Mao”.

You can hike down to the parking lot or take a toboggan (highly recommended, and lots of fun! extra fee.) down to meet our driver. We will then have a lunch at a local restaurant. We will then drive back to Beijing and drop you off at your hotel. Then you will need to upload all the fantastic pictures you recorded on your Great Wall trek!

Mutianyu Toboggan (German technology)

Optional Toboggan Run at Mutianyu (extra)

You'll surely be intrigued about taking the toboggan down from Great Wall to the entrance gate down the hill. You can ride as fast or as slow as you want. However, it is also a driving test. One person to a toboggan, you have a little handle with which you press down to go faster and pull up to stop. But if you are not intentionally pushing it, it will slow down anyway. "It is funny when we Westerners are on there, because we like to go a bit quicker than the Chinese (read a lot quicker) and you hear the shrill voices of locals shouting "brake! brake! Slow down!" It is hilarious. Go on it even if it is just to hear that." --taylorstonebridge on LonelyPlanet

People at age 70 have managed the riding successfully. Can you?
