This is truly a chance to see the real Great Wall in its all its glory and learn the history over five days. We start at Badaling, not the Badaling that all the tourists cram onto, but an area we have VIP access to, a fantastic opportunity. We then move onto Shixiaguan, a mostly intact portion of the Great Wall set against a lovely backdrop of mountains and rolling hills. The scene then changes to Huanghuacheng-Xishuiyu; this gives you the experience of the two types of the Great Wall, Unrestored and restored.
This is also an excellent chance to view the wall been submerged underwater! We’ll then set off for Jiankou, a section you will be in awe with. We’ll soon cross into Mutianyu, one of the most popular sections but still not overcrowded like other parts and a fun slide down on a toboggan! Our final leg brings us to Gubeikou. It held the battle against the Japanese in the 1930s. Then onto Jinshanling, a photographers paradise. This is where famous watchtowers are clustered across the mountainside. We will set up camp here for the night, a fantastic experience to sleep on the wall itself. The next day we finish at Simatai Great Wall, an unrestored section which is challenging but very rewarding!
