We offer flexible departures to suit your schedule—simply fill out our inquiry form and we’ll build your perfect Great Wall escape!
The Xiangtun section is best described as semi‑wild to wild Great Wall, set in a rural area northwest of Beijing. It’s not a fully restored, but still very manageable to walk along with a wide path and steps, but it gives it a much more authentic and quieter feel compared to the major tourist sections. Feel the full reward of the walk waking up to beautiful sunrise scenes on The Great Wall, a truly bucket list experience!
