Route 7A: The Great Wall touches the ocean

7X: A 7-Day Extreme Adventure

A non-stop on the go tour that requires 5-7 hours of hiking per day. This is not a hike made for amateurs. Hikers who are serious about hiking the Great Wall and who are determined to overcome steep terrain. We will begin at Badaling the unrestored section.
 

Then we will move into Shixiaguan, set among the mountains. This wall is still remarkably intact and stable. The scene then shifts to Hunaghuacheng, where we will trek until we reach Xishuiyu, here you will get to see where the wall becomes submerged underwater! 

  

Today The Great Wall at Jiankou retains its original appearance since its construction in 1368. It is known for its 'wildness' otherwise untouched, unrestored, and has all its history on display for you to see! One of the most notable features is its zigzags for 9.3 miles. We will take things easy when we cross over into Mutianyu, as it is a primarily restored section where the hiking is not so challenging.  
 

The following day we take off from Gubeikou, a place that held battles of the war against the Japanese in the 1930s.
 

We will pass over into Jinshanling, here is where you will get to spend a night camping in a watchtower!
 

The next day we move into the west Simatai area where the unrestored wall and is like a steep treadmill!
