GUBEIKOU - JINSHANLING
We will be up before sunrise to catch the sun throwing soft morning light onto the Wall itself, great for pictures! Since our campsite is at the bottom of the Great Wall, we need to hike 20-30mins from the bottom to the watch tower of the Great Wall. Simple breakfast will be followed, then we will continue to hike from our camping site eastward to Jinshanling section of Great Wall. The panoramic view is wonderful – partway along the hike, if the weather is clear, we will be able to see all the way to the Miyun reservoir and the Wangjing Tower in the Simatai Section. Along the way, we pass a military area where hiking on that area of the Wall is prohibited, you we will bypass this area by walking first to an interesting village nearby, and then rejoining the Wall in the Jinshanling section further on.
