Quiet Sunset Hike on the Great Wall 🌅

If you’re hoping to escape the crowds and experience the Great Wall at its most magical moment, this sunset hike is for you! The trail was quiet, the views were stunning, and the entire experience felt serene and personal. 📍Location: Great Wall of China - Jinshanling Section 🗒️ Itinerary Overview: • 1200 Depart Beijing (private transfer) • 1330 Have lunch nearby the Jinshanling East Gate entrance • 1430 Begin hike up (moderate climb, approximately 1 hour) • 1530 Walk from Jinshanling East Gate to Jinshanling Central Gate (approximately 2-3 hours) • 1800 Begin descent to Jinshanling Central Gate • 1830 Return to Beijing (private transfer) 💡Tips: • Wear proper hiking shoes 🥾 (sections of the wall can be very steep, so shoes with good grip is a must!) • Bring enough drinking water for the journey 💦 (there may be a few local vendors along the hike but items may be overpriced) • Check the sunset time beforehand and plan your journey accordingly ⏰ (it is recommended to start your hike at least 3 hours before sunset)
