Great Wall Camping

Take your favorite bottle of liquor and together with some good friends go and enjoy one of the best traveling experiences of your life. Camping overnight at the Great Wall, you can look up at a sky full of glittering stars. This nighttime Great Wall makes one feel like being in a cradle, its ancient body kindly embracing us. This place has seen the blood and tears of war, and also a thousand years of solitude. Perhaps like us, you are nothing but an adventurous, youthful vigor. Perhaps like us, you love to gaze at the shooting stars and tell stories till sunrise. In the morning you wake to another beautiful clear day, footprints and the echoes of laughter are the only things left behind.

Put on some good hiking shoes for this Wild Great Wall! Hiking the Wanginglou is truly amazing as we will climb up some of the steepest parts of the Great wall. The hike will start on some easy green hills. Soon you will see some Chinese characters stating the name of this place the on the mountain cliffs below the Great Wall. We will climb up the Great Wall and hike for a few hours on top of it. A lunch on top the a watchtower will give you some time to take excellent photos. If the weather is good and you have a good zoom on your camera you might even be able to take a shot of the Beijing outline by sunset. We ll pith our tents have some dinner and get a good night rest for sure. Next morning we continue our hike on the wall for a while and start making our way down again trough the bushy hills where we our driver will wait for us.
Note:This is no hike for people with fear of altitude

Don’t forget to bring, flash light, water, sun screen and a hat, some snack like energy bars, nuts,... At the meeting point we will provide you with lunch packets, tents and sleeping bags so a medium size backpack (40l) is needed.
