The Great Wall of China

Great Wall Trips

Snaking along lush mountains and valleys, the Great Wall of China is an epic piece of Chinese history that dates back 2,000 years and stretches for a staggering 8,800km. Our Great Wall of China tour takes you on an unforgettable journey into East Asia’s past, along quieter sections that are rarely walked by tourists.

On our guided group tours, not only will you see some of the best-preserved parts of the Great Wall, declared one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, but you’ll also witness the most astounding scenery in the world. Mutianyu is one of the best sections of the Wall and used to serve as the northern barrier, defending the capital and the Imperial tombs against Mongol raiders. 

Another magnificent section of the wall is the Jiankou, which lies on the edge of a precipitous peak. You can marvel at the ancient towers that teeter on ridges and climb to the summit of the Sanshibadeng (dubbed the ‘Spiderman Wall’) for panoramic views, although these head-spinning heights aren’t for the faint-hearted.

Our Great Wall trips to China are led by expert guides who teach you all about the history and traditional rural life as you meet with village locals along the way. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore the vibrant city of Beijing and its captivating contrasts of old and new with guided tours of the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and the ‘hutongs’.

Our Great Wall of China Holidays

A great hiking holiday walking different parts of the Great wall, from fully restored to original bricks. A mixture of tourist areas and wilderness.

Donald Moffatt Walking the Great Wall

Walking was moderate to challenging in places for some people, the very fit may have found the pace slowed down a bit but more time to take in the views! The less walked sections were the best and we met very few other people unlike the more tourist sections but it didn’t feel too over crowded in May. The guest houses were mainly better than we had anticipated, all were clean and the hosts were exceptionally welcoming and the food was plentiful.
