Camping on the Great Wall in the ancient watchtowers

Camp on ancient watchtowers like the warriors to "defend" the empire

The Great Wall stretches over 13,000 miles from the Pacific Ocean in the northeast out to the desert in Gansu of inner China. Over hundreds of years, millions of soldiers had stayed on the long Wall to defend China. The soldiers had to sleep on the Wall under the moon and stars day by day. 


A day visit to the tourist sites will not justify the true meaning of its history and culture. When people come to the Great Wall of China, they want to explore the past, how it was constructed as well as just how it functioned. A sleepover on one of the worlds most talked about ruins certainly will give you an unforgettable experience. The Great Wall Adventure Club organizes trips to sleep in a watchtower where soldiers once guarded. A night on the Great Wall of China watching the stars. Now that’s something you won’t forget! 


A truly successful camping on the Great Wall requires good planning, experienced guides, professional transporation, the best hiking route, and the good location of camping towers, water and meals. Only the Great Wall Adventure Club knows how to make a real adventure and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for die-hard Great Wall lovers.
