Secret Great Wall Hike

Hiking Time: 4 hours

Hiking Level: Intermediate

             

Route:
Providing you with unique guides travel information on China, we will head out to the Secret Great Wall. The Secret Great Wall is truly a treasure, because unlike the modern Great Wall of China such as Badaling or even Simatai and Jinshanling sections of the wall, it has not been mentioned in any English-language guidebooks. Thus, you will hardly meet any other tourists on this route.
The Secret Great Wall is located in Huairou County, 73 kilometers north from Beijing City. It connects with Mutianyu Great Wall 10 kilometers to the east. This section of the wall was built in 1368 during the period of the Ming Dynasty and is named after its shape (like a bended bow). It is famous among local hikers for its unique beauty. 
There are several scenic sites you will see, one of which is the enemy observation tower known as, The Eagle Flies Facing Upward". This observation tower appears extremely high as it was set up on a mountain which forms the highest section of the Secret Great Wall. Therefore, when an eagle flies there, it can only do so facing upwards before reaching the top of the tower. The Beijing Knot (the meeting point for three different converging sections of the Great Wall).

We will trek on some of the most magnificent sections of wall, which are virtually deserted. The hike itself would be quiet and beautiful, in about 4 hours of passing deserted sections of the wall in its original state, we will get to a section of the restored wall known as Mutianyu. Our bus shuttles you back to Beijing just in time for dinner.  
Note: Family Friendly - this trip is also suitable for children older than 8 years. Please advise on age of children when booking.
