8 days exploring original sections of the Great Wall

This itinerary takes place in a remote section of the Great Wall outside Beijing in Hebei Province. Hosted by local families, you will camp in comfort in exclusive locations and explore the Great Wall over five days, trekking between villages.

The scenery is vast and diverse as we trek our way through tall swaying corn cropped field to distant green river valleys with one of the great wonders of the world as our backdrop.

Host families provide us with true rural hospitality in the 'real China' and allow us rare interaction, including visits to family homes. In Beijing we visit the capital’s major historic sites such as the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. We also indulge in the culinary delight that Chinese cuisine is so famous for.
