Jinshanling Great Wall
About 4 hours
With about 4 hours of hiking, the full-day tour will immerse you in the rugged hills and steep inclines of a less touristy section of the wall, where grandeur and natural beauty go hand-in-hand with a spectacular feat of engineering. En route to the wall, you will be served a simple box breakfast. Then, experience the impressive number of watchtowers of Jinshanling. The round-trip hike is about 10km, during the hiking tour you will know why Jinshanling is called a photographers' paradise. See the great Barrier Wall, where parts were built on sheer cliffs or steep mountain slopes. Locals call it Heavenly Ladder, and some points are so narrow that only a thin wall could be built. Experience “the greatest of the whole length of the Great Wall,” and admire inscribed bricks rarely seen elsewhere along the wall.

Impersonal, & long journey

Slough, United Kingdom | Apr 21, 2025This tour was not so much a tour with a guide as a bus trip with a 2 minute introduction. The tour was a huge group with one tour guide who we didn't even see on the Great Wall. The lunch was poor, and not worth the time & cost. This tour is an overpriced coach trip which took a long time, spending twice as much time on a coach than spent at the Great Wall. I would not recommend this tour.
