The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest sights in the world. The longest wall in the world, it is an awe-inspiring feat of ancient defensive architecture.
The 4-hour route from Jiankou to the Mutianyu section is the most challenging Great Wall hike, featuring decaying and dangerous steps and spectacular cliff-top tower and wall ruins.
Sense the history as you stand on the unrestored Jiankou section of the Great Wall, which you can enjoy without being surrounded by a crowd… or even a soul. You can experience camping wild on the Wall just like an imperial Chinese soldier.
Having a BBQ dinner, sharing beers with friends or your partner, and appreciating the enchanting views, including sunset and a sunrise over the Great Wall, would give you unforgettable experiences.
