Long Valley Castle Great Wall Camping Trip

Date: Sept 13 - 9 am (2 days)

Venue: Jianguomen, Beijing

Price: RMB 950

How about camping on Beijing's Great Wall at its highest? This 15-km hike is one of the tougher Great Wall treks as participants will hike uphill for most of the day. But your efforts will be rewarded. The place where the tents will be pitched is a top-notch long-grass field with a 360 degree view at all the surrounding mountains. You will get to view the breathtaking sunset and sun rise at this 1,400-meter high camping spot, which is located next to the highest Great Wall watchtower in Beijing. The hike on the second day is easy and the view is beautiful. It is a 2-hour walk through the forest and down into the valley where a driver will be waiting for the participants.
