Hike Agenda

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.

This is probably the best Outdoor combination you can experience. Get relaxed and clean in a fantastic countryside hotspring after 2 days great wall hiking and camping.
Day 1
Take the car to Zhenbianchen and do 10 km of great great great wall hiking.
Take your favorite bottle of liquor and share your toughest stories just like the Ming dynasty warriors did 600 years ago.
You can pitch your tents on the wall, in a watchtower or for the real outdoor lovers just sleep under the stars.


Day 2
Another 10 km of great wall hiking but this time we end our hike at a great restaurant and enjoy an abundance of great local food. After lucnh we will go exloring a cave with over a 100 room that where inhabited by our chinese ancestors. The date and purpose of these cliff houses still remains a mystery. our driver will bring us to an excellent hot spring. Once soaked and relaxed enough you can go for a massage, a game of snooker or fall asleep watching a movie in a super deluxe easy chair.


Day 3
After breakfast you can enjoy the hotspring again for a few hours before we will have a smooth train ride home to Beijing Railway station.

Backgroud info
Zhenbian Fortress Village is located at Huailai County, Hebei Province. Once it was a frontier fortress along the defense line of the Great wall. There are two ancient scholar trees in town, and most buildings are Ming and Qing style. The city wall was built with large stones.

Five meters away from North of Zhenbian Fortress Village, lays Hengling Fortress, which is large-scale and well-preserved. You can see an ancient theater in the village, but the pictures on the pillar and roof beam became muzzy...
