Great Wall Hiking

In Beijing Municipality, the Great Wall expands over 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. ChinaHiking will guide you to those most remote and long deserted parts of the Wild Great wall.

Dear explorers,

During winter season, From December 1  2018 till then end of Februari  2019, Chinahiking will only be offering private tours.

During the winter time we explore and set up new adventures trails so if you would like to go for a trip be sure to request your private trip at least 2 weeks in advance to be sure we can accommodate you.

 

Beginning of March 2018 we start again with Great Wall day hikes and multiday Great Wall trekking.

By April we will be ready to pack our back packs again for camping trips on the Wild Great Wall.

 

Spring and fall are the best times to go for the higher mountains in Yunnan and to climb the summits described in our mountaineering chapter.

 

You can still reach us on our email address and request trips trough our website. It might take some time for us to replay as we will be out in the nature most of the time but we will check in and replay your requests on a weekly basis.

We wish you a fantastic winter holiday, an merry Christmas and a happy new year and look forward to guiding you in 2019

Dali, Yunnan Province，Black Dragon Pools and Cangshan Summit Hike Camping(2 Days)

A challenging but very rewarding high altitude hike that begins at the base of Cangshan Mountain at just over 2000m above sea level and takes you far up the mountain to a group of pristine alpine ponds located at 3750m. We camp next to the ponds for sunset before continuing the next morning to the summit at nearly 4100m. You need to be in strong physical condition. Serious hikers willing to challenge themselves will be rewarded with spectacular scenery, stunning views and a real sense of accomplishment! Detailed information

Departure dates  

Yu Zhu Feng Summits

Yu Zhu Feng, altitude 6,178 meters, is the highest peak in the eastern Kun Lun Mountains and located about 3 hours by car outside of Ge Er Mu (Golmud), in Qinghai, China. The climbing season is from May to October with the best time of year in July and August. Yu Zhu Feng is an ideal mountain for beginners. The mountain has two climbable slopes: the north slope and the south slope. The north slope of the mountain is in a wide flat that begins at 4,300 meters above sea level near the small village of Xi Da Tan. The north slope is good for technical mountaineers looking to practice their skills. As well, the north slope is good for those hoping to acclimatize and rest at Xi Da Tan before heading over to the southern slope. The southern slope of Yu Zhu Feng lies at an altitude of 5,050 meters. It is much more friendly for beginner climbers as the shape and formation of the glacier makes it an ideal place for first-timers and beginners to climb a high-altitude peak. Detailed information
