What to expect

  1. Jinshanling Great Wall
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Jinshanling Great Wall is celebrated as one of the most genuine original Great Wall sections. Much quieter than Badaling and Mutianyu, it features intact ancient ramparts perfect for hiking. Its remote location means big coach tours often involve uncomfortable rides and inflexible schedules. Our shared air-conditioned 7-seater vans fix this, limiting each vehicle to 6 guests to ensure ample space on the journey.
    Two Service Packages
    Option 1: Driver Only + Entry Tickets (Budget Choice)
    Great for independent travellers. Service includes round-trip transfer with a professional driver and official Jinshanling tickets. Explore and hike the Great Wall freely at your own pace.
    Recommended hiking trails:
    Short route: Main Entrance → East Five Towers (1–1.5km return, easy)
    Moderate route: Main Entrance → East Five Towers → General’s Tower
    Long route: General’s Tower to Simatai West (suitable for seasoned hikers)
  2. 1h · Admission ticket included
    Option 2: Driver + English-Speaking Guide + Entry Tickets
    Best for visitors wanting rich cultural background. Alongside transport and tickets, our experienced guide shares Great Wall history and stories during the drive. On-site, they suggest hiking paths and highlight historic towers and ruins, while you still get plenty of time to hike independently.

    Small Group Perks (Max 6 Guests Per Van)
    Each air-conditioned 7-seater business van holds no more than 6 guests, avoiding crowded tour coaches. Enjoy spacious seating, flexible timetables, convenient hotel pick-up and drop-off, and no lengthy waits for other travellers — ideal for the long drive to remote Jinshanling.

    How it works
    Once booking is confirmed, share your hotel name and full address to arrange pickup.

    Driver + Guide: Your English guide travels with you, offers historical commentary and shows you key heritage spots on the Great Wall. You retain plenty of free hiking time.
    After sightseeing, meet your driver or guide at the arranged time for transfer back to your hotel inside Beijing’s 4th Ring Road.
