Outgrowing its original function as grand defensive fortification against the northern nomadic groups, China Great Wall is now a renowned ancient legacy and famed as one of the Seven World Wonders.
The well-kept Badaling Great Wall is favored by domestic tourists, but not for international travelers. Head for Mutianyu, take a cable car up to the top to have a bird's eye view of the amazing snake wall and surrounding mountains.
Prepare for a day-long hike on the Jinshanling section, or explore in depth to the Simatai Great Wall and several other remote, wild Great walls for a more authentic Great Wall experience.
Summer is the best season for camping on Great Wall. Trekkers in Beijing can choose to camp on wild Great Walls like Jiankou Great Wall, Huanghualing Great Wall, Gubeikou Great Wall, etc.
Prepare yourself lunch with delicate desserts and fruits. It will be a great pleasure to make tea or coffee on Great Wall.
For Chinese Kung Fu enthusiasts, you should not miss practicing Tai Chi on Great Wall to have the best experience of extensive and profound Chinese culture and civilization.
When walking on the century-old walls, through the weather-beaten beacon towers, and peering into the distance, get your camera ready for a great photo of an unparalleled achievement in human history!
