"For our Sunday hikes, we have carefully selected special and classic Great Wall routes based on different seasons. We will organize small groups with limited seats. So your hiking experience becomes more unique and we can go to places that are normally not accessible for bigger groups. The event will repeat 2-3 times. If you miss one, then you can join the next round. If you are a Great Wall enthusiast: this new serie of offers is for you! Please note that we have to adopt our regular pricing for these special hikes - find the details below."



Jiankou loop line is a classic hiking route and there are two different directions. We will go to the west section. You don't need to climb too difficult section, but you still will be rewarded with fantastic scenery. We start climbing slowly mountain dirt trail till the wall. Then there is 20 meters going down the hill. That is the only short section that you need to help by hands. After that, going throught a small forest to go up the wall again. Then the rest of the route is quite easy. Meanwhile you could enjoy beautiful view.


After the hike, Jiuwan accommodation will offer us some drinks. We will have a short break there and then go back Beijing.
