The map illustrates the program area. Daily transfers and hiking directions follow the itinerary below.
Explore the mountain defenses around Shixiaguan and the wilder Badaling area. This stage focuses on quieter ridges and surviving historic masonry, with the surrounding valleys showing why the pass mattered as a defensive position.
Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Planned overnight: Good Fortune Inn
Walk above Huanghuacheng’s reservoir, where the Wall descends toward the water and crosses the surrounding hills. Views toward Xishuiyu reveal the unusual relationship between the historic defenses and the later reservoir landscape.
Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Planned overnight: Camping on the Wall
Devote the day to Jiankou’s dramatic ridgeline and unrestored towers. Mountain approaches and uneven surfaces make this a careful, guided walk, with stops at suitable viewpoints rather than a fixed promise to reach every tower.
Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Planned overnight: Good Fortune Inn
Begin on Jiankou’s rugged mountain side and follow the agreed route toward Mutianyu. Weathered towers and broken masonry gradually give way to restored ramparts, ending with a descent arranged to suit the day’s conditions and your group.
Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Planned overnight: Camping on the Great Wall at Gubeikou
Walk the Gubeikou–Jinshanling corridor in the direction shown in the daily route. Gubeikou’s weathered ridges and Jinshanling’s substantial watchtowers provide a varied picture of the Wall, while connecting paths allow the walk to follow the permitted access for the day.
Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Planned overnight: Camping on the Wall
Explore the Jinshanling and West Simatai side, following the direction and exit confirmed by your guide. Alternating repaired and weathered stretches, frequent towers and successive hill crests give this stage its distinctive rhythm.
Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Planned overnight: Huangyaguan Hotel
Explore the Huangyaguan area, including the defenses around Taipingzhai, also known as Peace Fort. The planned route continues toward the steep Sky Ladder and older mountain remains; the guide will confirm which sections are accessible for your group.
Meals: Breakfast, lunch
We confirm pickup, transfers, walking distances, meals and overnight arrangements in your personal proposal. Routes and camping locations depend on permitted access, weather and your group’s ability; named accommodations are planned stays and remain subject to availability.
For Mutianyu, confirm whether cable car, chairlift or toboggan tickets are included in your quote. Camping equipment and the approved overnight location are confirmed before departure.
Send your dates, party size and hiking experience so we can prepare the right arrangements.
