The Great Wall at Longquanyu follows a ridge surrounded by taller mountains, with views of peaks in the distance and canyons far below. We'll hike a recently repaired stretch with some two very steep descents, and take a detour through chestnut orchards to find the last 'wild' stretch of wall in the area. The hike finishes with a walk out past the Little West Lake reservoir, a popular park with views of Great Wall dipping down into the water.


When we’re done walking we’ll head to a nearby restaurant for a late lunch of Chinese food.


Holiday traffic: There's a chance we'll get stuck in bad traffic at some point during the drive, and we might be back to Beijing later than estimated. We'd recommend not making fixed plans for the evening, just in case!
