Overview

View the Great Wall of China on this special sightseeing tour with our unique and exclusive route. You will be taken on a trip back in time, having the chance to explore Beigou village, a small countryside village by the foot of the Great Wall. Completely away from the crowds, this tour takes you to a privileged area that is only known to locals. Hiking through the forest you will be taken to the far peak of the Mutianyu Great Wall section, dodging the noisy and crowded touristic areas. You will be taken personally to the old Wall by our specialized guide, allowing you to see and learn about the most secret and exclusive area of the Wall. From the highest tower, you will descend the Wall to the lowest towers where a pleasant staircase leads you to the bottom giving you the last chance to look back and admire the Wall (or alternatively, take the cable car down the Wall). This tour is suitable for both experienced and amateur hikers of all ages.
