Detailed itinerary:
We will meet in the early morning at 8am and will get to the Gubeikou Crouching Tiger Great Wall at around 10:30am. After a short break we will head out to the Crouching Tiger Great Wall. The Gubeikou Crouching Tiger Great Wall is on the peak of the mountains which looks like two tigers. Located in the western section of the Gubeikou Great Wall, its highest peak measures about 2,181 feet. A watch tower is erected every 492 feet of the wall, overlooking a deep valley or mounted on a strategically important hilltop.

Gubeikou crouching tiger Great Wall is wild, completely untouched and authentic. Its construction rates highly as an architectural achievement and it provides some spectacular photo opportunities. In most cases we are the only ones on the wall, giving you peace and serenity all the way. You will be astonished by the breathtaking mountainous view and the ancient Chinese construction when you get on the last few watch towers. We will walk on the wall for about 3 hours, having enough time to stop and look around or take pictures. You will cherish this unique experience that will overjoy your senses.

After the walking on the wall we will come down the wall along a trail in the mountains. The bus will be waiting for us at the end of the trail. We will have a late lunch at a local farmer’s house after the hike.

Bad weather plan:
We will email you 2-3 days before the hike to let you know about the weather condition. If there is thunder storm, heavy rain or strong wind it will be dangerous to do the hike on the wild unrestored Great Wall in the mountains. So we will cancel it, change the dates or arrange a hike to the restored section of the Great Wall.
