Great Wall of China is one of the important ancient wonders in the world. This is a must visit place when you travel to Beijing. The longest wall in the world is an impressive performance of ancient defense systems. Their tortuous paths over rough terrain and steep mountains form a great backdrop. "The greatest achievement in the history of mankind": The Great Wall of China is the largest construction project with the longest construction period and the highest cost in the history of humanity as measured by human life, blood, sweat, and tears. It deserves the name "the newest of the seven worlds" and the place as a UNESCO world heritage site.
You would perhaps only visit the well-preserved / restored parts, and leave the wild parts still a mysterious world. But if you like to go Greatwall hiking by Trekclub, it is very much a hike to make the wild ancient wall. It is an experience that you can never forget!
Perhaps you only know the Badaling section of Great Wall; many foreign travelers only visit this part of the ancient wonders of China. It is often overcrowded and much of it is not the original stones. The wild parts of the Great Wall such as Jinshanling, Jiankou, and Simatai are original and less visited. If you go for Greatwall hiking by Trekclub, you can avoid huge crowds and quietly enjoy the original essence of the Great Wall.
Let’s know about the 7 amazing facts about Great Wall Hiking:
• There is no toilet on the way along the wall. There are toilets at the entrance to Simatai West and Jinshanling. Please prepare toilets before the hike.
• You can seek help from local farmers to start the hike. The farmers will help you along the way and as a reward try to sell a few souvenirs. If you do not want it, you have to say NO (which will not work because of Chinese culture later) or simply ignore it and do not speak to them, otherwise, they can be obstinate and follow you all the way the wall.
• Please do not make appointments after the return, as it can be between 5-6 o'clock depending on the traffic situation.
• Unlimited bottled water is available in the car/van, you need an all-day bag to take away.
• Bring hiking sticks in your car/van or ask the guide if necessary to take.
• Travel insurance is optional and is the responsibility of the traveler. It is recommended to take out an injury and an accident while enjoying Great Wall hiking.
• As a responsible traveler "take nothing but photos and leave only your footprints".
