Walking on the Great Wall and camping in a watchtower, like soldiers guarding the frontier in medieval times, offers a superb experience to immerse in the history of the Great Wall. Enjoy lake views at the start and end of the hike.
This two-day Great Wall hiking and camping trip offers a variety of landscapes and unique experiences along the Great Wall, leaving a lasting impression.
Walk on the Incredible “Lakeside Great Wall” The Huanghuacheng section of the Great Wall boasts excellent views of the surrounding valleys and unique water features that set it apart from other sections.
This segment is not only close to a lake/reservoir, but some parts of the Great Wall are even submerged in water.
Overnight in an Ancient Military Watchtower on the Great Wall As night falls, camp in an original watchtower that once housed soldiers. Gaze at the incredible starry sky, enjoy the tranquility of the mountains, and transport back to medieval China.
Admire the Stunning Sunrise on the Great Wall Witnessing the magnificent scenery, including sunrise over the Great Wall, provides an unforgettable experience.
Beijing to Huanghuacheng | Hike the Lakeside Great Wall — 1½ hours, 3 km (2 miles) Your professional hiking guide will meet you at your hotel in Beijing at 2pm. Journey to the Huanghuacheng section of the Great Wall with a 2-hour drive. Start hiking at about 4pm. It will take about 1½ hours to finish the round-trip hike, including four watchtowers. The wall continues eastward but you will not go any further as it's very steep and the wall is crumbling. Enjoy a homemade dinner in a farmer's guesthouse and take a shower in the guesthouse before going back to the watchtower. Your camping gear will be carried up to a watchtower on the Wall after dinner for your overnight stay on the Great Wall.
Return to Beijing | See the Sunrise and Hike from Huanghuacheng to Xishuiyu — 4 hours, 6 km (4 miles) Wake up to a beautiful sunrise when you open your tent (Great Wall weather is often dry and clear, especially from October to May). Go down to the village and have a simple local breakfast there before walking back up to the wall. You will be impressed by panoramic views of the lakeside when you get to the first watchtower of Huanghuacheng. Continue hiking up and down on the Wall, meandering through bushes and forested areas, until you end your hike at Xishuiyu. Enjoy a special hot pot lunch on the way back to Beijing. You should get back to your hotel in Beijing at 2pm.
