Hiking Route: Jiankou to Mutianyu (5 hours, 10kilometers)
Pick-up from your hotel at 8:00am and then drive to the Olympic venues to choose our favorite sandwich at Subway for lunch on the Wall.
After 2.5 hours driving, we start hiking at 11:00am at Jiankou Great Wall. Jiankou is translated as “Arrow Nock” in English,in a shape of the letter “W”, like arrow nock. It's a 5-hour hike to Mutianyu Great Wall with superb scenery and dense vegetation. As we proceed, we will find Mutianyu Great Wall less commercialized and fewer tourists on this section. Standing on top of the wall allows us a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside, which is planted with fruit and chestnut orchards, and dotted with old pine.
Afterwards, we'll drive to Gubeikou and stay overnight at a local farmer's guesthouse .

Hiking Route: Jinshanling to Simatai West (3 hours, 5 kilomters)
After a typical farmer’s breakfast, we will drive to Jinshanling Great Wall in 20 minutes and begin to hike at 8:00. It’s the right time to produce amazing photographs as there are fewer tourists on the wall at this time. We have the wall to ourselves.
This 3-hour hike to Simatai West offers us constantly changing perspectives and wide, open views. We will get off the wall at Kylin Tower, and cannot walk to the Simatai East due to the recent closure of Simatai Great Wall. What rewards us is a unique Hotpot lunch when we back to the city.

Thank you Nancy, Our time in Beijing has been very interesting and we have been very impressed with the city and the tours organised. The only problem is that we have both developed gastro problems, probably caught in Mongolia. Hopefully will be better soon and able to enjoy more of your fascinating country. Cheers,

Tips for hiking on the Great Wall
Recommended outfits: comfortable shoes or boots, water, snacks, sunscreen, sun-glasses, first aid kit, lip balm, cap, long pants with zip-off legs in summer rather than shorts.
Please prepare toilet paper by yourself before hiking and a carry it with you, as toilets are available only at the entrance of Jiankou, Mutianyu, Gubeikou, Jinshanling and Simatai.
You will be followed by local farmers during the hiking who wish to sell souvenirs. If you don’t like this, you must say NO or ignore them.
