Travel Itinerary

Jinshanling to Simatai Great Wall Hiking Private Day Tour

Your guide and driver pick you up from your downtown Beijing hotel, then drive approximately 2.5 hours to Jinshanling Great Wall. Your guide will brief you on the hiking route and safety tips along the way.

Start the 5km, 3-hour hike from Jinshanling East Section to Simatai West Section. This authentic wild Great Wall section features a stunning blend of original ruins, partially restored walls and well-preserved fortifications, passing 15 ancient watchtowers with breathtaking panoramic mountain views at every turn. Due to the temporary closure of the full Simatai West Section, the hike ends at Qilin Tower.

After completing the hike, enjoy a relaxed lunch at a local restaurant near the Great Wall, savoring authentic northern Chinese cuisine and resting before the return trip.

Drive back to downtown Beijing, arriving at your hotel around 17:30. Your Great Wall hiking adventure concludes with unforgettable memories of the authentic wild Great Wall.
