2AE: Wild Wall Hiking and a Lakeside Overnight

 Great Wall Adventure Club is the only authorized business that is approved by the Great Wall Administration Office to offer camping on the Great Wall to all our customers. We are not like any other Tour guide company. We are unique because 100% of our focus is on the customer. To camp on the Great Wall legally, we pay a fee to the Great Wall Administration Office that allows us access to places no other companies have the authority to do so. Great Wall Adventure Club is not only the perfect guide for your Great Wall hike and camping experience but the ONLY one. 

Begin with the Jinshanling–West Simatai hike, then spend the night in a Great Wall watchtower. Finish the program with the Huanghuacheng–Xishuiyu walk, where sections of the Wall meet the reservoir and disappear beneath the water.

 At about 9:30 a.m., our driver will meet you at the hotel. After 2.5 on the road, we will reach the Jinshanling section of the Great Wall and begin our two-day hike.

Jinshanling's right-wing, where we will hike until we reach Simatai West called Second Valley. As we head west, the wall will start to deteriorate gradually, making the hike progressively more challenging, but also interesting to observe and compare.
 

The Jinshanling Great Wall possesses an excellent opportunity to take in some fabulous views. Make sure to take your camera. You will not be disappointed! This part of the Great Wall has not been repaired since 1570. It is very remote, but it's what makes it so unique and a great chance to experience the nature and the wild parts of the wall.
 

Explore the unrestored West Simatai section, called the Second Valley in this program. Its original masonry and perpendicular defensive barriers provide a close look at the Great Wall’s military design.

 An early wakeup call to watch the sunrise over the Great Wall and then onto Huanghuacheng, Great Wall. 

The fantastic countryside of Huanghuacheng Great Wall is covered in a yellow mass of wildflowers in the summer season, Additionally known as the 'Yellow Blossom Town' of the Great Wall surface. As this area of the artificial wall has no stone actions or a single smooth walkway and it gives a challenge for its visitors instead. Another significant feature is the Lake that provides it that added a unique feel to your see when trekking this stunning area.
 

Xishuiyu’s weathered masonry offers a look at the Great Wall before restoration. Continue west to the reservoir, where the fortifications meet the water and parts of the Wall are submerged.

Finish the hike at about 1 or 2 p.m., then enjoy lunch before the return journey to Beijing.
