Explore the Great Wall on a private sidecar tour through Beijing's northern mountains, with stops at the serene Silver Pagodas and hidden hutong lanes.
Discover a side of the Great Wall few travelers see on this private, one-day sidecar adventure from Beijing. Departing your hotel at 9:30 am, your guide leads a fully improvised journey through the rugged mountains north of the city, offering panoramic views and a sense of freedom. Depending on your hotel location, begin with a short ride through historic hutong alleyways before heading into the countryside. A highlight is the stop at the Silver Pagodas, a majestic and tranquil site with a Zen-like atmosphere. This tour is not about a single destination—it's about the ride itself, the wind in your hair, and the unexpected discoveries along the way. Perfect for travelers seeking an authentic, flexible, and memorable Great Wall experience without the crowds. English-speaking guide included.

We improvise the sidecar tours with you. We are not only taking you to see the Great Wall, but you will also enjoy the panoramic ride in the mountains to the North of Beijing and stop at the Silver Pagodas, a site of majestic beauty with quite a Zen feeling. Below is the tentitive itinerary:
Pick up at the hotel by 9:30 am.
Depending of the location of your hotel we start with a small hutong tour before heading to the countryside.
On our way, after 30 min of motorway and 30 min of nice countryside and hilly roads, we make a first stop at the Silver Mountains Pagodas, an out off the touristic map site that is simply amazing for its stunning beauty.
After another 45 min ride in the mountains we arrive at the foot of the Great Wall. We then start the climb that takes about 45 min.
On the top we have a Quality French picnic with the magnificent view of the Great Wall all around. There are no tourist there so it's just relaxing time.
After an hour or so we start the descent on the other side of the wall for about 30 m.
A few drinks and we ride again back to Beijing
Note: If you are not comfortable with hiking, tell us so we organize alternatives, getting on the wall but without climbing it.
