I feel extremely lucky because on the day of our hike there were clear blue skies and all we could see around us were beautiful mountains and hills covered in snow - it was truly astonishingly beautiful. This section of the wall was completely empty. We didn't see any other people there at all, which was also a real trip. We watched the sunset from the top of the wall, then had a 40 min walk down to the van during which it got dark so some of us used our cell phone flashlights.
I really can't recommend this hike enough. Getting to hike such a lovely and empty section of the wall was without question the best part of my trip! Really hope to come back and do another hike with this group again in the future.
Once you get to the top you have spectacular views. It's crowd-free - we were the only ones there (although we could see another group in the distance), and off the beaten track. I'd been to the Badaling part of the wall and, with its hordes and masses, the experience left much to be desired. Not so with China Hiking - a great experience with a fun, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable host. An experience I won't forget in a while.

The van arrived on time and took us and a few others to a remote village for lunch, after which we did the hike to the wall -- all by ourselves. WE saw no one on the way to the wall and then very few people passed us by on the wall. The spot they take you to is perfect. We loved the hike, it was stunning.
The guide also gave us a lot of background info on the wall which was great. Our only regret is we didn't do one of the multi-day hikes; Next time :)

In stead, what we get is an awesome authentic Chinese lunch with some really nice people, and a walk on the wall with no more than seven other people. And that's all the people I've seen all day. Just the way I like it :) Just untouched, authentic Chinese wall, a walk that was just challenging enough to be interesting, and a guiding couple that between them - Belgian man, Chinese woman - have all the knowledge to answer my questions, and actually speak my language. I would have been very happy to walk the entire wall with these ingredients :)

Ours was a very small group of 6 people and the food we had before the hike was delicious!
I will definitely be back to see more of this magnificent country and definitely get in touch with Fred and his team for the other trips.

We begin the trip from Beijing with a mini bus, went to a village close to the wall and had a local lunch in a farm house. We then begun hiking to get to the great wall.

Lunch was provided at a nearby farm. The food was delicious and it was interesting to see how people live in this part of the country.
Fred and Heidi were very flexible in organizing the specific trip that we wanted on a day that worked with our travel plans and also very accessible in the days prior so that we could plan other parts of our trip.
I highly recommend this company both for the hiking experience and because they are so professional and organized.

Detailed Itinerary
The Humpback (the wild part of Badaling) Great Wall section is located about 20km north of the famous Badaling Great Wall. It’s a 2 hour drive from our meeting point (Lama Temple subway exit B) to our lunch place, a local farmhouse with a view on the Great Wall.
After a great lunch at the farmhouse courtyard, we take a beautiful trail through the valley till we meet the Great Wall at its lowest point. From here, we start hiking to the famous steep staircases. It will take us a good hour to climb these stairs until we reach the highest point of the Humpback Great Wall and a nicely preserved watchtower. This section of the Humpback Great Wall has been partly restored and is now in perfect condition for easy hiking.

Hiking up and down the staircases is just amazing. You will find plenty of watchtowers and the famous 180 degrees Great Wall Turn, a perfect place for pictures impotenzastop.it.

From the General Watchtower, we take a 1.5 hour trail through the forest down to the Stone Valley where our driver will be waiting for us. We should be back in Beijing at 9pm.
Level 2: Medium-Strong
A good physical condition is required for hiking in these designed trails. Hikes marked as level 2 are usually long day hikes or day hikes that include a steep uphill hike and/or trails where some balance is needed. Usually kids from age of 10 are all right with these trips.
