Hike a quiet 6km stretch of the Great Wall at Jinshanling with transport from Beijing, an English-speaking driver, tickets, and a small group.

“My husband and I joined this tour in January 2019. We were a group of about 6 travelers total, along with our driver and our guide, Jen. Jen was amazing! She was very informative and a lot of fun to talk with about both the history of the Great Wall and the culture in Beijing.
