About this activity
Escape the crowds on a full-day private excursion to Huangyaguan, a remote and dramatically rugged section of the Great Wall spanning two millennia of history. You'll hike through mountain terrain largely untouched by mass tourism, with expert guidance and seamless hotel-to-hotel logistics from Beijing.
At 7am, your guide will meet you up at your hotel lobby in Beijing, then you will take 3-hour ride to Huangyaguan Great Wall that is situated in Tianjin. Huangyaguan is a remote section of Great Wall where there are fewer tourists. The early history can be traced back to 2000 years ago. It is worth coming here to climb up to view the endless Great Wall and fantastic mountains. Upon arrival, you will start hike about 3 hours on the Great Wall extending like a dragon swinging up and down on the mountains.
Afterwards you will have lunch at a local restaurant before being driven back to your hotel in Beijing where the trip concludes.
