Great Wall Hiking

The Great Wall Hiking

$129.00

Departures: Daily | Group Size: 3–12 people

Embark on an unforgettable hiking adventure along one of the most scenic and less-traveled sections of the Great Wall of China. This hike, spanning from Jiankou to Mutianyu, takes you through one of the most picturesque and rugged parts of the Wall, often referred to as the “Wild Great Wall.” With fewer tourists in this area, you’ll experience the Great Wall in its most natural and untouched state. The hike covers approximately 10 kilometers (6 miles) and typically takes 5 to 6 hours to complete. Along the way, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
