Hiking on the Great Wall, Beijing Walking Tour

Discover the Great Wall of China as you go on a journey off the beaten path on this full-day experience filled with surprises plus an increased knowledge of the history and culture. This experience is part of STEP, a selection of walking tours designed as a way to discover a destination in more depth, finding hidden gems, meeting the locals and exploring off the beaten path.

Starting from meeting your local English-speaking guide, you'll learn how the Great Wall of China is a symbol of the indomitable spirit of mankind from over 2000 years ago and represents an endless strength that inspires us to keep moving forward. You'll also feel this inspiration as you interact with the local villagers who are happy to help with carrying backpacks and showing you how to climb up more efficiently.

Admire the construction and physical presence of the Great Wall which is the only manmade project that can be seen from outer space. Feel any exhaustion evaporate and be filled with delight as you reach the top of the mountain to marvel at the sweeping views over the vast mountain ranges. Indulge in a lunch cooked by local villagers, made from home-grown vegetables and home-raised chickens and ducks to complete the day.
