Tomb-Sweeping Holiday hikes—We're leaving early to get ahead of the holiday traffic, but we still may get stuck in a jam at some stage. Bring a book or something else to keep yourself entertained, just in case!

We’ll follow roads and hill trails in and around tiny villages northwest of Beijing, making easy climbs on hill trails and a really steep and tough climb on a rather rundown stretch of Great Wall, with fine views the whole way.

Most of this hike is easy, but we've rated it as a Level 4 because the section of the Great Wall we'll climb is really steep and tricky.

PS: the Great Wall part of this hike will not be much fun if you are not good with heights or not confident in your balancing ability.
