1.Small Group Hike at Jinshanling Great Wall

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 667 reviews · 9 hours · from $52Our pick

Small-group hike at Jinshanling Great Wall, mixing wild ruins and restored sections, with trekking poles, water, lunch, and Beijing pickup.

“The booking process was super simple and easy. The pickup location was clear and not hard to find at all. When we were picked up, our driver Charlie was so welcoming and kind. He didn’t speak a lot of English, but he made everything easy by using translation and even had a sign ready with my name on it, which made us feel very looked after. We loved this hike because it allowed us to walk at our own pace. For the first 2–3 hours we practically had the whole place to ourselves, which made it feel even more special. Just a note for anyone planning to go in winter…”

“Tony was well prepared and answered all our questions. It was a beautiful day which made the experience even more amazing. This part of the wall is far so prepare for a long drive, but it is worth to see it. Even during one of the main holidays in China, the wall was with relatively little tourists.”
