Itinerary

Day 1: Beijing to Gubeikou

Stop At: The Great Wall of Gubeikou, Gubeikou Town, Beijing 101508 China
Gubeikou, along with the passes at Shanhaiguan in the east and Juyongguan in the west, was a key strategic target in military campaigns since ancient times. Protecting these three passes was considered vital for keeping Beijing safe from the Mongolian nomads. There was also a fierce battle between Chinese and Japanese in the 2nd World War. The vistas of the sinuous Wall snaking its way over the ridges of the Yanshan Mountain are breathtaking.
Duration: 3 hours

Meals included:
• Lunch
• Dinner
Accommodation included: Great Wall Inn Gubeikou

Day 2: Jinshanling to Beijing

Stop At: Jinshanling Great Wall, Chengde Shi, Luanping County 068250 China
Jinshanling offers arguably the finest hiking anywhere on the Great Wall. It is extremely photogenic, with over 15 watch-towers, and steep gradients that give constantly changing perspectives and wide, open views. There is fascinating variety in the watchtowers here. Some have two storeys, others three. Some have flat roofs, others rounded and others again are pitched with upturned eaves. This section of the wall is wild, ruined, preserved and original. On a clear day, it is difficult to fail to take good photographs here.
Duration: 3 hours
