Great Wall Hiking

In Beijing Municipality, the Great Wall expands over approximately 630km. Except for about 50km of the Great Wall developed for tourism at scenic spots like Badaling and Simatai, the majority of the wall is still left untouched, making it extraordinarily well-preserved. Dandelion will guide you to those most remote and long deserted parts of the Wild Great wall.

If you d like to see a really wild part of the great wall than this Chengchiabao is your spot. A while ago Some friendly village kids helped us finding the right track to the Great Wall trough their farmlands. The first part of this hike we will walk on the ancient Great Wall where will also have a small lunch. After lunch hour we will have to side track a bit when the wall plunges down into a valley. Climbing out of the this valley up and next to the Great Wall you surely start thinking what an effort it most have been to build this one! An easy hike trough the fields will bring us at the other side of the second mountain range where our driver will pick us up again.

Backgroud info

Chengiabao was once the gateway for the army of Liziching, the man who made an end to the Ming Dynasty. Lizhiching tried to get to Beijing many times but only succeeded to break the lines on this wall.
