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. After lunch 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
