5 Of The Best Hiking Destinations On The Great Wall Of China
Mutianyu
The first location of the Great wall tour organized by www.trekclubs.com would be Mutianyu. Situated a bit further from Central Beijing, the place won’t be as crowded as most of the other locations. If you go with a travel agency, then they should be able to arrange transportation for you. Or, if you choose to travel on your own, then you can rely on public transportation. The government managed to restore this section, and so it’s safe to hike there.
Badaling
If you’re one of those people who wish to witness the wonders of the Great Wall of China with hundreds of other tourists, then you should choose Badaling. It’s the safest place for the Greatwall hiking tour, and it’s also where you’ll encounter innumerable tourists. Badaling is the most visited and also the best-preserved section of the Great Wall. It’s so accessible that even physically disabled people can explore it.
Jinshanling to Simatai
This location is perfect for backpackers. The hike is around 4 to 5 hours long. It’s the place that you should visit if you want to experience the rugged beauty of the Great Wall of China on foot. You have to travel 130 km from Beijing to reach Jinshanling, and from there, you can start the hike to Simatai. What you witness here will definitely be worth the extra time and sweat.
Jiankou
You must be a brave-heart or a hardcore adventurist if you add Jiankou on your list. It’s also the perfect spot for photography enthusiasts. You’ll experience the wildness of the Great Wall here because most of the area is quite dangerous. Also, the government couldn’t manage to restore this particular section of the Great Wall. Regular tourists should stay away from this location. It’s open to only the most experienced hikers who travel with local guides.
Huanghuacheng
You probably never heard of this place as it’s somewhat isolated from the rest of the Great Wall. Travelers who explored this area also say that it isn’t part of the Great Wall officially. While it isn’t as dangerous as Jiankou, you’ll surely experience the isolation and the serenity of Mother Nature here. Foreign tourists rarely enter this zone. If you go there, you’ll mostly encounter Chinese nationals.
