Great Wall camping at Spring Mountain great wall

dandelion hiking — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:00:07 +0800

This Great Wall camping trip is amazing combination between Wild & restored Great wall, mountains, valleys and small springs. If you can hike 10km with a 10kg back pack than this camping trip is perfect for you.

This great wall curls on a mountain ridge and trough forest and gives you a bit the feeling of discovering ancient ruins in big forest. And the reality is not far off. Walking on this lush green path you will see the Great wall winding on mountain ranges as far as the eye can reach (and this way you ll realize that the tale that you can see the great wall from space is just a fairy tale). On this camping trip we will have enough time to relax and enjoy the view. We will pitch our tent just in partly renovated watchtower with a stunning view over the valley.

the second day we'll hike down the mountain into a beautiful valley.

Great wall Camping at Border Defence Great Wall

dandelion hiking — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:19:39 +0800

This 20km hike is one of our harder ones but also one of the most beautiful ones. There really is no better place than this Yangbian Great wall to set up your tent and enjoy dinner with a bottle wine.

This Great Wall trek starts at a tiny farm village. It will take us a good half hour climb trough the fields to get to the wall. The rest of the trekking will be on top of Great Wall. This Yangbian Great Wall is really of the beaten path and connects the Border Defense Great Wall with General Xu Great wall. If you are in good condition, love hiking and would like to see some excellent wild Great Wall than this is your trip!
