wander the great wall

The construction of the remarkable Great Wall started 2,000 years ago during the Qin Dynasty. The original walls were made of rammed earth and built to keep out marauding nomads from the north. Gradually the Wall has deteriorated and some sections have turned to dust, but over the subsequent dynasties, several strategic sections have been rebuilt and reinforced. See how the Great Wall was in its former glory and tread the elevated highway as it is today. Your local guide leads the way at a leisurely pace on what many travellers have considered the ultimate China experience.

Itinerary

Day 1 Beijing

Find a bargain at the wonderful Silk Markets and see the hutongs and back lanes of Beijing by rickshaw.

Days 2-3 Great Wall

Stretching over 6,000 km the Wall is an almost-unbelievable feat of ancient engineering and a lasting reminder of Chinese imperial history. Trek with a local guide through remote areas, past crumbling staircases and watchtowers overgrown with vegetation. In places the Wall zigzags up inclines and straddles peaks like a suspension bridge, offering a chance to gaze out at mountain ranges in the distance. Hike on to Gu Bei Kou and take in views of the surrounding countryside.

Days 4-5 Beijing

Conquer the last part of the world's longest fortification and enjoy a picnic lunch on the Wall before heading back to Beijing. Back in the city seek out a restaurant offering Peking duck to celebrate your Great Wall ramble.
