The map shows the tour area. The detailed plan below remains the source for stops and timing.
Pick up from your hotel in Beijing around 8:00. Then drive 80 km and get to the Mutianyu Great Wall. The Mutianyu Great Wall is densely wooded with fantastic natural views. Hike the Mutianyu Great Wall for about 2-3 hours. Then come down and drive to a local restaurant for lunch. On the way, you will have the chance to see and feel the local village life. After lunch, then drive 60 km and get to Jinshanling Great Wall. Stay at Jinshanling Hotel below the Jinshanling Great Wall. Dinner at the hotel.
After breakfast, around 9:00am starting the hike from th east section at Jinshanling Great Wall to the west section of Simatai Great Wall. The hike is about 12 km and takes about 4-5 hours traveling across 30 towers! Simple box meal on the way. Get down the wall at the foot of Simatai at about 04:00pm and check-in at a local inn - Simatai Great Wall Courtyard Hotel under the Simatai Great Wall. Take a bath and have some relaxation. Enjoy a local dinner at the hotel.
After breakfast at your hotel, hiking the east section of the Simatai Great Wall for 2--3 hours in the morning. There are in total sixteen watchtowers built at intervals along this space and it will take about 2-3 hours to reach the twelfth watchtower. Beyond this stage the condition of the stairs and walkways is poor and the passage becomes both steep and narrow which means that it is often safer to use the adjacent footpath rather than try to walk on the Wall itself. So the towers from 13th to 16th are not allowed to hike. Have lunch at local farmhouse restaurant and get back to your hotel downtown Beijing later afternoon. ( B L )
