Trek one of the seven wonders of the world constructed by human hands over 2000 years ago. Flights to Beijing and accommodation are included with support crew and local guides and tour of the Forbidden City.
The Great Wall of China has to be the ultimate building project the world has ever known; constructed by human hands over 2000 years ago, it stretches across this hilly region with long spurs and watch-towers often disappearing into the mists.
You will pass through woodland and terraced farmland, following the contours of the beautiful hills and mountains in remote areas north of Beijing. The trek follows old sections of the Great Wall, as well as restored sections with smooth flagstones and lots of steps!
