Route:
Day 1: Secret Great Wall of China Hike + Overnight Farm Stay at the Great Wall of China
One of our great Beijing China Great Wall tours. Most Chinese work and live in small farming communities. Some of these are many kilometers from towns and cities and some are on the edges of large cities such as Beijing. We take you to a spectacular section of the Great Wall situated in such countryside. On picking you up, you are going to first head north of Beijing. On the way you will get a flavour of the countryside, the homes, the shops, the roads, and the people. We start our hike from a very beautiful part of the Wall called Jiankou Great Wall. We will climb up to the highest tower of the Wall called Wangjinglou, where the views are second to none. From Wanjinglou we will hike to a tower called General Tower. We then head out to the farm that we will be staying at, have some superb country food for dinner, and get a good night sleep.
Day 2: Small Farm Stay + Dumpling Making
We will spend a day in the countryside with members of the farm family that we will be staying with. Have a late morning, take deep breathe of clean mountain air and enjoy beautiful farm view. We then proceed to prepare our lunch and learn how to make dumplings. Chinese dumplings or Jiaozi, with meat and vegetable fillings, is a traditional type of chinese food that is a must-have during the Spring Festival all throughout China. You will learn how to prepare the filling of meat or vegetables or both, and also the art of wrapping these dumplings, and learning to cook one or two simple traditional Chinese family dishes which will be served as your lunch. In the afternoon, after your delicious lunch, we will do some farm work. This family has a plot of land and some of the land is used to grow wheat, the main food staple in northern China as opposed to rice down in the south. We will clear away all weeds to get good harvest. After 1 or 2 hours, we will drive back to Beijing.
