1-Day Field Trekking To The Great Wall
Private Tour Guide in China: Lily
Distance: 20km
Aititude raise: 400m
Gradient: 3%
There are two major ridges surrounding Beijing: Tai-hang-shan Ridge in the west, Yan-shan Ridge in the north. Guan-gou gorge is where the two ridges meet. It'd been the key pass connecting Mongolia Plateau with Northern China Plain for thousands of years. In history it was of great commercial and military value. Even in modern times, railway (Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway) and highway (Badaling Expressway) still go along the gorge.
During the 1-day trekking along the gorge, you will have chance to appreciate:
Villages - hide in deep mountainary area
Old channels - image how busy it had been in history
Ju-rong-guan Pass - the key pass on the Great Wall guarding the Guan-gou gorge
1st railway project built by Chinese engineers, and it's well-known zig-zag railway upward design by Sir Zhan Tianyou
Great Wall - if you like, you could climb a wild section of the Great Wall - few tourist has chance to do!
Before you leave, please make appropriate evaluation on your own health condition and likelihood to bear the hardship of 20km's field trekking, equip with appropriate bag, clothes and shoes...right for long-distance field trekking, bring moderate amount of food for lunch, drinkable water of 2-2.5L, fork or scoop, and, pocket enough money (RMB 200-300) for emergent cases. For example, when your health condition do not permit you finish the journey, we may have to drop off and call a taxi sending you back directly.
I'll be glad to visit The Great Wall together. I would like to offer you one of the most interesting places in the world - The Great Wall in China. Hope, you will memorize this tour as the most interesting event in your life!
NB: More tours are available upon request.
