Overview
Your hike begins with a stroll past a small reservoir, followed by a brisk ascent up a dirt track leading to the Great Wall. The climb isn't challenging, yet upon reaching the Great Wall, you'll find yourself nearly at the highest point of the entire hike.
The highest point of the entire hike is the 24-Eyes Tower. The name '24-Eyes' is derived from the number of windows—six on each of the tower's four sides. Presently, the tower only has two sides due to damage over the years.
After the visit to 24-Eyes Tower, you'll hike back down the wall all the way to the General's Tower, enjoying the views of a long line of the Great Wall unfolding in front of you.
The General's Tower is a large structure that likely served as the command post for this section of the Great Wall. You have the option to climb on top of the General's Tower, providing a unique perspective akin to that of a soldier on guard.

What to expect
Great Wall at Panlongshan
4h · Admission ticket included
The Gubeikou Great Wall is one of the most accessible stretches of the 'wild' wall in Beijing. Even if there were a cable car – there isn't – you wouldn't need it.
The hike is picturesque, offering stunning views without too much difficulty. You'll enjoy long views of the Great Wall running along ridgelines. As you reach high points, the wall unfolds before you, providing the perfect backdrop for your photos.
Surprisingly, Gubeikou is seldom visited. There's a great chance that it will be just you and your guide, with the wall all to yourself.
On this visit, we'll focus on the middle and top sections of Gubeikou's Panlongshan Great Wall, showing you the key highlights of this segment of China's Great Wall—24 Eyes Tower, Haowang Tower, and the General’s Tower.
Later in the day, if you feel like taking a longer stroll, we'll offer the option to extend the hike to Gubeikou's North Gate—a large, restored arch in a ring of the wall that once encircled the village.
