Highlights
- Jinshanling Great Wall - After the pick-up, you’ll head for Jinshanling Great Wall directly. Driving for about 2 hours.
The English speaking driver will walk with you to the Great Wall from east gate of Jinshanling Great Wall. After you get on the Great Wall from East Five Window Tower, you need to walk along the Great Wall to the west, enjoying the sunset on the Great Wall and get down from the middle gate. The driver will leave you on half way and return to drive the car to the middle gate, waiting for you there.
You’re supposed to hike the rest by yourself, but you don’t need to worry about being lost because there is only one way going along the Great Wall, and the tower name is printed in each tower in English. The total hiking covers around 7-8 kilometers, about 3-4 hours. The hiking is a little bit strenuous.
After the sunset and getting down from the Great Wall, you’ll be picked up again from middle gate and drive directly back to the city.
Returning to the city at around 21:30, the tour ends.

Jinshanling was the perfect place for visiting the Great Wall, helpfully guided by Beijing Downtown Travel - It was worth the longer drive from Beijing to climb the Great Wall at Jinshanling, the views were spectacular, there was a good density of towers decorating the wall. The climb was steep which in my opinion made it a better experience at one of the wonders of the world. We were lucky to see a golden sunset to round off a lovely afternoon hike.
Before the tour, there was detailed joining instructions, and communication was done via tripadvisor messages and WeChat. Our tour guide Jackie was helpful in explaining the history behind this section of the Great Wall, and knowledgeable when asked questions, answering in English with ease. The included transfer from Beijing town centre was adequate, if it was more luxurious it would make this tour perfect (even colder air con, more comfortable seats, less noise during motorway speeds). Nevertheless, thank you for getting us there and back safely.

Beautiful sunset tour - I loved the Sunset Tour. Everything was perfect. Easy communication, a comfortable ride and a stunning hike along a part of the Great Wall that is hardly visited. Amazing to watch sunset from the wall. I highly recommend the tour.

Zero tourists & incredible views - Don’t think, just book it! This part of the wall is spectacular. Zero tourists and just the most jaw dropping views. Jackie and Miya were excellent guides. I felt safe and well communicated the entire trip. I would highly recommend

Great daytrip to quiet yet beautiful part of the wall - Had a great day out from Beijing to the wall. Was a bit further to drive, but amazing views and nice challenging walk over the wall. Excellent organisation by Iris, our friendly guide, who walked with us the whole way.

Amazing! - Iris was a great guide for our tour! And this part of the Wall is great for pictures as it is not crowded. Takes some work to get there but it is worth it!

THIS is the section of the Great Wall you want to visit! - Before booking the tour I was hesitant because I wasn’t sure which section would be the best. I am soooo happy I chose this one! Everywhere I went in Beijing it was way too crowded and this hiking was lovely! I barely saw people around so you have plenty of opportunities to enjoy and even get nice photos without rushing. The tour guide, Iris, is one of the kindest and sweetest persons ever! She made me feel so comfortable, she explained beforehand all the details you should know about the hiking. We had 3 good hours to do some trekking. It’s perfect time to be on time to come back. It’s one of the best tours I’ve ever taken! Lots of nature. It rained for a bit so it was more challenging to climb. You need to make sure you are wearing proper shoes because it can be slippery during rainy days.
Xièxiè for the amazing experience!

Amazing Hike - This trip is amazing. We enjoyed so much. There were few visitors there and it was quite challenging in some section. The guide is very kind and considerate. Recommend it!

Good option if you are fit & healthy - This is transport rather than a tour. There is no commentary, just a driver. The walk is quite strenuous, particularly in the heat of summer. It’s a long walk with LOTS of very steep stairs & ramps which are very uneven
