- Jinshanling Great Wall - Upon entering Jinshanling Great Wall from the west gate, you’ll notice that its condition is much better than Gubeikou’s, and it remains quiet and untouristic.
You’ll walk from the west gate to the east gate of Jinshanling Great Wall for about 4-5 hours, enjoying the changing and beautiful scenery of the Great Wall.
If you feel too tired to complete the entire journey, there are several exits along Jinshanling where you can leave midway. Your guide will inform you of these exits.
The entire hike from Gubeikou to Jinshanling takes approximately 5-6 hours and covers about 11-12 kilometers (6-7 miles).
