FAQS

How tough is this hike?

This hike is very flexible, going from 5 km to 10 km. When we arrive at the Wall, you have free time to explore the Wall or hike a bit more.

Is the Great Wall we visited full of people?
Both sections are far away from the city. It is much quieter than Mutianyu and Badaling. Especially when it was not the weekend or a Holiday, we were the only group on the Wall most of the time.

What time does the tour start and finish?
As sunset time varies daily, our tour usually starts between 10 am and 11 am. We will go back to downtown Beijing 2.5 hours after Sunset.

What to take for this hike?
Comfortable shoes or boots are essential. We recommend bringing sunscreen, sunglasses, lip balm, and a hat. Please let me know one day before the tour if you need hiking poles.

When does the tour have lunch? Is it ok for vegetarians?
Lunch is usually served after the hike, around 2 pm. We selected a local restaurant with excellent Chinese cuisine. There is a lot of food suitable for vegetarians.

How many bottles of water should I bring?
Unlimited water bottles are stored in our car/van, and you must carry them.

Does the tour take place in rain or snow?
We cancel the tour only in extreme weather conditions. Otherwise, the time goes on. Please check the weather report and be prepared.

What is the tipping or gratuities policy?
Our guides always appreciate tips, though they are not expected. You may choose to tip if you believe your guide did an outstanding job and want to show your appreciation for their efforts. Typically, clients tip between 50 and 100 RMB per person.
