A fabulous 10km hike on top of the 400 year old Jinshanling Great Wall. We start in the cornfields, climb hills with pine trees, hike past all 67 watchtowers of the Jinshanling Great Wall end with the steepest staircases of the Great Wall just West of Simatai Great Wall. Most magazine photos of the Great wall of China are taken from this section.

From our meeting point (Lama Temple Subway exit B), we will take you on a 2 hour drive to the border of Beijing and Hubei. The hike starts with a 45-minute hike through the farm fields and over the hill ridges allowing us splendid views over the wild Gubeikou and Jinshanling Great Wall. We follow the trail to our farmhouse friends for a delicious lunch at their authentic courtyard with view on the Wall.

After lunch, we continue our hike. Within 20 minutes we set our first steps on the Wild Jinshanling Great Wall. The 10-km long Jinshanling Great Wall shows some amazing defensive features, such as barrier walls, battlement walls, watchtowers, gun emplacements, shooting holes and horse blocking walls.

We hike down on the crumbled section of the Wild Jinshanling for about 30 minutes till we reach the extraordinary well preserved Jinshanling Great Wall. Here you can see how the Great Wall of China looked like during the Ming Dynasty.

The last stage of our hike is all the way up on the famous Great Wall staircases. We pass 67 watchtowers and the General Tower with its intoxicating views over miles and miles of Great Wall. We visit 4 more towers on the Simatai Great Wall and take a last spectacular picture of the Fairy Tower, the highest tower on the Simatai Great wall.

A small trail through the forest will bring us down the mountain where our faithful driver will be waiting for us. We will be back at our Lama temple meeting point around 7pm.
