Top 15 Jinshanling & Simatai Great Wall Hikes

18 reviewed

Two and a half hours out of Beijing you get the version people come back for: long unrestored ramparts, tower after tower, and whole stretches with nobody else on them. These are the best Jinshanling and Simatai trips, with walking distances, how much climbing each involves, whether the guide stays with the group, and which include Simatai after dark with Gubei Water Town below it.

“Wonderful day out to the Great Wall. Such a quiet area of the wall, on many occasions it felt like you had it all to yourself. Well worth putting up with the more challenging sections. Driver Charlie was really helpful providing maps and information over WeChat and was ready and waiting for the trip back to Beijing when needed. Would recommend to all!”

“This was a tough but amazing day. Our guide Woody and driver Yu were great. The hike was challenging, but Woody was able to share many stories and details of Chinese history along the way. If you want to get away from the crowded overrun parts of the Great Wall, and are up for the challenge, then this is a brilliant tour for you. The views are breathtaking and well worth the effort. Lunch after the treck was also amazing. It was a favourite local restaurant of Woody's, and we were all greatfull at the end of a long hot day. Thanks Woody and Yu for some incredible memories.”
