Highlights of this tour:
- Marvel at the unique features of Jinshanling – barrier walls, character-engraved bricks, and horse-obstructing walls.
- Enjoy a non-repetitive hike along the Jinshanling Great Wall.
- Explore the majestic Great Wall for 3.5 hours, with an optional cable car ride.
At around 7:30 am, our English-speaking guide and driver will pick you up from the downtown hotel (if your hotel is NOT within the second ring road of Beijing City, please come to the appointed meeting place to meet the guide and driver).
Jinshanling Great Wall is located 130 kilometers away from Beijing downtown with a ride of 2.5 hours. It connects to the Simatai Great Wall in the east and the Gubeikou Great Wall in the west, zigzagging its way up and down the mountains for 10.5 kilometers.
This part of the Great Wall has 3 unique features, barrier walls, bricks with characters, and horse-obstructing walls. Barrier walls and horse-obstructing walls are two important parts that make the great military defensive system more impregnable. Bricks were engraved with characters of the troop’s names when they were made, which helps you to trace the history of the Great Wall.
Another difference with other sections of the Great Wall is that you will not go backward on the Jinshanling section, while for other sections the farther you go the longer the return way is.
You will explore the Great Wall for about 3.5 hours. If hiking is too much for you, the cable car is available and optional (you can pay cash on the spot). A simple lunch is included.
After the Beijing Great Wall tour, transfer you back to Beijing downtown and drop you off at Dongzhimen, Wangfujing, or Qianmen Sanjiao. You can freely explore the city on your own and get back to your hotel by yourself.
