Hike to Where the Great Wall Enters the SeaPékin, Chengde, Qinhuangdao
Résumé du circuit
Experience the true majesty and scope of the Great Wall as you hike from Beijing to the Wall's easternmost point.
The tour starts in Beijing, giving you time to see all of the capital city's iconic sights, including the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. From Beijing, you begin your journey along the wall.
The first section you will hike is the scenic but challenging Jiankou Great Wall. You will then visit the well-known Mutianyu Great Wall and experience its thrilling toboggan slide (if you're brave enough, that is!). You will also have the opportunity to spend the night on the Great Wall, camping in a watchtower on the Gubeikou section just like the soldiers of old.
After this, you will continue east, taking in sections of the Great Wall near the former imperial summer resort of Chengde and finishing in the coastal city of Qinhuangdao. In Qinhuangdao, you will hike one of the best-preserved sections of the original Ming Dynasty Wall and stay in an ancient village that was built for soldiers and their families and is still inhabited by their descendants. Finally, you will cross through the famous "First Pass Under Heaven" and end where the Great Wall meets the sea at the so-called “Old Dragon's Head”.
Note that this tour is recommended for keen hikers.
