Selfguided hike of Jinshangling great wall

Published on Oct, 2024

Selfguided hike from west to east gate of Jinshangling Great Wall. 3 h with foto stops. Shared transport with 3 other people. A guided service for this part of the Great Wall is unnecessary. Given the difficulties to go there by public transport, the tour was a cost effective way to do the hike.

Great experience!

Published on May, 2024

Amazing and very professional service, the agency let us know straight away after booking we would have had to leave earlier than planned due to holiday weekend to avoid roadblocks and traffic, which we appreciated as it really enabled us to visit the Great Wall with few people, sun and in a very relaxed atmosphere. The driver, Jackie, was on time, nice and provided all info and tips to enjoy at best this section of the Great Wall. Everything was perfect, and considering Beijing was bursting with people that day, we had a phenomenal and private experience which I'll remember forever

What You Need to Know Before Climbing the Great Wall of China

Published on Apr, 2024

Starting our adventure to the Great Wall of China was a breeze, thanks to our awesome driver who picked us up from our hotel right on time. The ride there was smooth and peaceful, getting us all hyped up for the day ahead. Let me tell you, this isn't just a leisurely stroll—it's a serious climb. The tour covers about 6 kilometers of the Wall, and it’s mostly just steps, going up and down. They don’t kid around when they say it’s for fit folks. I work out pretty regularly, but I was definitely feeling the burn with all those steps. We were on our feet climbing for nearly three hours straight, with hardly any time to catch our breath. The Wall is well-equipped, though. There are trash bins and toilets every kilometer, which is super handy. Just make sure to bring your own toilet paper because you won't find any there. Also, there are small vendors selling drinks right on the Wall, but the prices are pretty steep. My advice? Pack at least two liters of water per person and some snacks to keep you going. Shoe-wise, ditch the trainers and go for some solid mountain shoes. The steps are all over the place in terms of size—some are tiny, but others are massive, up to 45 cm high. And let me tell you, some of those steps are seriously steep. If you're thinking there might be some flat parts to catch a break, think again. It's just endless steps up and down. By the end, my legs and calves were totally mush. One heads-up: there aren’t any handrails, and some spots are pretty tricky to maneuver through. Each tower along the Wall does have a shelter, which is great if you get caught in the rain. We lucked out with just cloudy skies, but I bet those steps get super slippery when wet. All in all, climbing the Great Wall is an epic experience, but it’s no walk in the park. It’s tough, but totally worth it for the views and the bragging rights. Just make sure you're ready for a workout and pack smart!

Great explanation and ways to tour mutianyu great wall

Published on Dec, 2019

I have been to badaling great wall long time ago. This time I accompany mu friends from Australia to tour Beijing. Mutianyu is a fairly new section of the great wall. I was surprised that the view is great. Tour guide gave us different ways to travel the wall and help us decide how we want to travel. Great tour!

Exactly as advertised, without hidden Sales etc.

Published on Dec, 2019

The tour guide Iris was very welcoming and tried her best to make us feel comfortable. We were also a quite small group with 6 westerners and 2 locals and the driver was kind and spoke English, it also was no issue to make him drop me off closer to my hostel after the tour. Once you reach the Great Wall, you are free to explore it on your own, so don't expect any additional commentary etc. but the tour guide gave as tips about how to best navigate around the Wall and the different options. The lunch was nothing extraordinary and more in the style of a Western Asia buffet, but still quite tasty. Soft drinks were about 15 RMB. Overall I can definitely recommend this tour, if you don't need an extensive commentary and want to avoid included trips to a jade factory and other scams.
