About this activity
For the first hour, we will clamber up the mountain and get to Zhengbeilou Tower on the wall atop the mountain ridge. The one hour ascent to Zhengbeilou Tower from Team 2 Xizhazi Village is the most difficult part on your trip hiking from Jiankou Great Wall to Mutianyu Great Wall. This one hour uphill walk is done along a narrow and steep bushy mountain path in a beautiful pine forest. Very often you have to have your hands on rocks, roots, and bushes for balance.
Starting from Zhengbeilou Tower on the top, then walk eastward ups and downs on the rugged wall snaking along the mountain ridge, passing through the wild and crumbling towers at Jiankou, and reach the restored and magnificent Mutianyu Great Wall. The hike takes about 4-5 hours for 8km trekking.
One hour scale up a steep hill to reach the wall, 2 hour hike along the unrestored section starting from Zhengbeilou Tower at Jiankou (Not advisable to scramble the section between the Upward Flying Eagle Tower and Zhengbeilou Tower ) and 1-1.5 hour walk along restored section at Mutianyu (many other tourists). You may get down from the wall at Mutianyu on foot ( half hour walking down ) or take a cable car or toboggan. Cable car and toboggan are optional for you as our price list.
Jiankou Great Wall is the greatest and most photogenic section of the Great Wall around Beijing. It is wild and totally unrestored. The tumbledown and crumbling brickwork snakes along a narrow mountain ridge. Mutianyu Great Wall was built in 1404. The fortifications and the Great Wall here are featured by many watchtowers on overlapping mountain ranges. The wall, built with slabs of stone, is crenellated on both sides with bricks. The wall provided better protection and ward off attacks with Jiankou in the west and Gubeikou in the east.
After the hike from Jiankou to Mutianyu Great Wall, we will have a late Chinese lunch at a local restaurant before returning your downtown hotel in Beijing.
