China Great Wall medium hike from Beijing

Embark on an exciting day trip from Beijing for a private Great Wall hiking tour to two sections of China's Great Wall with a local professional tour guide, starting with a hotel pickup at 08:00 am. You will start with the exciting 3-hour hike from the Simatai Great Wall. This is one of the most photogenic sections of the Great Wall, complete with original bricks, unspoiled and ruined, yet well-preserved. Simatai is a listed World Heritage Site and is a sight to behold in autumn. It features the famous ‘Heavenly Ladder' at a steep and narrow section, which rises 45 degrees.

The 15 watchtowers and steep gradients along the way offer constantly changing perspectives and panoramic views. One of the best vantage points for photo-enthusiasts is the Kylin Tower. Capture the fabulous vistas of the wall snaking up and down. There on, you will walk westward to the Jinshanling Great Wall and get off the wall at Shalingkou. If you like, you could continue for another 30 minutes and get off the wall at Zhuanduokou instead. Enjoy a delicious lunch in a local restaurant before returning to your hotel in the early evening to conclude your China Great Wall tour.
