2AD: Battlefield Trails and Lakeside Camping

 Great Wall Adventure Club is the only authorized business that is approved by the Great Wall Administration Office to offer camping on the Great Wall to all our customers. We are not like any other Tour guide company. We are unique because 100% of our focus is on the customer. To camp on the Great Wall legally, we pay a fee to the Great Wall Administration Office that allows us access to places no other companies have the authority to do so. Great Wall Adventure Club is not only the perfect guide for your Great Wall hike and camping experience but the ONLY one. 

This two-day Great Wall adventure combines the towers of Jinshanling with the quieter, unrestored ridges of Gubeikou. Spend the night in a watchtower, wake for sunrise, and continue on the second day to the lakeside route between Huanghuacheng and Xishuiyu, where parts of the Wall are submerged.

 At about 9:30 a.m., our driver will meet you at the hotel. After 2.5 on the road, we will reach the Gubeikou section of the Great Wall and begin our two-day hike.
 

Gubeikou’s steep, winding ridges are lined with towers of different sizes and designs. Follow about 10 km of this historic landscape toward Jinshanling, where restored and unrestored masonry offer contrasting views of the Great Wall. The itinerary includes time to watch the sunset while walking.

Enjoy a locally prepared Chinese dinner, then spend the night in a Great Wall watchtower. Camping equipment is provided and set up with local support, leaving you time to appreciate the mountain setting beneath the moon and stars.

An early wakeup call to watch the sunrise over the Great Wall and then onto Huanghuacheng, Great Wall. 

The fantastic countryside of Huanghuacheng Great Wall is covered in a yellow mass of wildflowers in the summer, Also known as the 'Yellow Flower Town' of the Great Wall. This section of the Great Wall has no stone steps or a single smooth walkway, and it provides quite a challenge for its visitors. Another significant feature is the Lake that gives it that extra unique feel to your visit when hiking this beautiful section.
 

Xishuiyu’s weathered masonry offers a closer look at the Wall before restoration. Continue west to the reservoir, where the fortifications meet the water and sections of the Wall are submerged.

Finish the hike at about 1 or 2 p.m., then enjoy lunch before the return journey to Beijing.
