Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Jinshanling Great Wall, Chengde Shi, Luanping County 068250 China
Time: 10:00-13:00
This moderately challenging hike offers breathtaking views of the Great Wall from Simatai West to Jinshanling, snaking along the ridge of the mountains, taking you through crumbling, ancient watch towers along the way.
Upon finishing the stairs you will arrive at the Houchuankou Pass, the first among many towers that you will see along the wall. From there, you will be rewarded with stunning panoramic view and even be able to see the Great Wall stretching out to the horizon. This section of the Great Wall is known for being built a top sharp ridge. Hiking along this thoughtfully restored section of the Great Wall will transport you back in time to the heyday of imperial China period and allow you to get a sense of what it must have felt like to be a Ming Dynasty soldier sent to the northern frontier of the Chinese empire to protect the imperial capital, Beijing, against nomadic invaders. Along the way, snacks and water are provided for you to recharge. You will have a late lunch at the Zhuanduokou Pass. After this, you will be transferred back to your hotel at approximately 5:00pm to end this tour.
Duration: 3 hours
