Three hours from Beijing, in the rugged mountains of Hebei Province, is one of the most picturesque parts of the Great Wall reachable from the capital. Free from the crowds of its closer, neighboring sections, more remote Jinshanling’s 10.5km stretch of both restored and wild wall is steeped in centuries of history.

Your guide will return you to your hotel at the end of the day (around 5:00 pm).
