What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Jinshanling Great Wall, Chengde Shi, Luanping County 068250 China
Pick-up from your centrally located hotel in Beijing(or PEK airport, or PKX airport), then drive directly to Jinshanling Great Wall, which is further away from Beijing than other sections, being spared the crowds, and you’ll be guaranteed a quieter and more adventurous encounter with the ancient stone barricade.
Jinshanling also offers the wall’s finest hiking trail, stretching 3.7 miles (6 kilometers). Your guide will be with you all the time and you can walk at your own pace. Take your time to linger over the impressive restoration, with 15 watchtowers and picturesque views over the ruins. Or, you can opt to take a cable car part of the way (own expense).
The tour also takes a peek at the steep and scenic ruins of the Simatai section of the Great Wall, which is rugged and unrestored.
No shopping, no stop for any tour shops, etc... Completely enjoy the Great Wall!

Book it!!! I’ve been traveling the world for 6 months and this trip to the Great Wall is truly special. Being at a secluded part of the wall allows you to appreciate and experience the wall in personal way that is very different than touristy areas. This tour rocks!!

We book the group tour. Meeting point easy to access in beijing. This day (8th august) we were a "big group" of more than 20 people. Even though, on site just a little more people. We had some good explanations from the guide and then 3 hours to walk on the wall (some parts renovated, some less and at the end not at all so a complete idea). We first eat and had some rest so after we were Alone along lots of part of the wall. Some part are quite difficult but it worth even if the weather was so hot. Enough time to enjoy the wall and do the walk. Way back on time un beijing. We highly recommend this tour. We booked it directly at the ghesthouse (even if we were not sleeping here)We had booked a trip via our hotel Beijing 161 Courtyard for a hike. We were picked up by Joe and Iris our guide.

We had booked a trip via our hotel Beijing 161 Courtyard for a hike. We were picked up by Joe and Iris our guide. She gave us lots of information about the wall and it was nice to walk in our own pace “the Wall” This hike was so nice with original pieces of the wall and more or less no tourists. The wall can be a challenge because it is quite steep sometimes but wort it a lot. Iris speaks English very well which is very handy. Also the trip from Beijing to the Wall takes about 1,5 hours and gives a nice view also. In wintertime it is quite cold so dress warmly🥶Feeling slightly under weather,I am worried that I was unable to complete the hike according to the given time. But Iris,the guide has been extremely patience, kind and encouraging. Iris spoke English well and was ever ready to answer all of my questions about the wall and took pictures for us.Cr...
Feeling slightly under weather,I am worried that I was unable to complete the hike according to the given time. But Iris,the guide has been extremely patience, kind and encouraging. Iris spoke English well and was ever ready to answer all of my questions about the wall and took pictures for us.Credit also went to Joe, the driver for ensuring our 2-way ride was a safe and comfortable one. Overall, the surrounding view at Jinshanling Wall was breathtaking and amazing. It seemed that we have the stretched of walls to ourselves as there was hardly other hikers on the day we hiked. Well done Beijing Downtown Travel for arranging such a memorable hike!😁Iris was our guide and she was excellent!! Chirpy and fluent in both English and Mandarin, she gave a concise yet complete summary of the history of the section of the wall we were to climb this morning.

Iris was our guide and she was excellent!! Chirpy and fluent in both English and Mandarin, she gave a concise yet complete summary of the history of the section of the wall we were to climb this morning. Once up on the wall, the hike was free and easy, 6 km over 3 hours, at your own pace. The views were amazing with the snow as the background. Iris was very thoughtful and made it her responsibility to watch over the group for certain parts of the hike which were more rugged or made slippery by the melted snow. Altogether a very doable hike. I highly recommend this tour and do ask for Iris if you can. You won't regret your choice.Just came back from the tour from Jinshanling to Simatai West and I am still heavily impressed by this incredible monument of Chinese history.

Just came back from the tour from Jinshanling to Simatai West and I am still heavily impressed by this incredible monument of Chinese history. This tour avoids the highly frequented parts of the wall and so we could admire it calmly. Iris did a wonderful job guiding us and showing it to us. The tour was very instructive and above all Iris was very friendly and always had a smile on her face. Recommended to everybody who wants to experience the Great Wall off the beaten tracks.
