From Beijing: Small Group Hike at Jinshanling Great Wall - The 8am start and long drive from Beijing

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 667 reviews · 9 hours · from $52Our pick

Hike restored and wild sections of Jinshanling Great Wall from Beijing, with sweeping views, a small group, water, poles, and local lunch.

“The booking process was super simple and easy. The pickup location was clear and not hard to find at all. When we were picked up, our driver Charlie was so welcoming and kind. He didn’t speak a lot of English, but he made everything easy by using translation and even had a sign ready with my name on it, which made us feel very looked after. We loved this hike because it allowed us to walk at our own pace. For the first 2–3 hours we practically had the whole place to ourselves, which made it feel even more special. Just a note for anyone planning to go in winter…”

Hike a quiet 6km stretch of the Great Wall at Jinshanling with round-trip Beijing transport, an English-speaking driver, tickets, and free time.

“The tour included return trip from Beijing to the Great Wall. The drive itself was OK, also did one stop each way (approx 3h drives). We only missed a bit more general information about the Great Wall while driving and not while hiking as we were dedicated to photos there (and thus quickly lost the guide).”
