The beauty of Gubeikou and Jiankou
When you want to keep a distance from
crowds, it is best to take the route of less visited portions of Gubeikou and
Jiankou. Here you can experience the unrenovated part of the wall, which has
its roots in Ming dynasty. Though you need to get permission for great wall hiking at these places from
authorities and visit at your own risk, it is great to walk on the unraveled
part during the daytime. Try to avoid journey after sunset as roads are full of
unraveled stones thus it might get difficult to walk in the dark. However, day
visit offers excellent views that will fill you with joy.

Jiankou, you can head towards Simatai region.
