Jinshanling & Simatai Great Wall Full-Day Hiking Tour

Our guide Christina was exceptional, her English was impressively fluent, even better than what we typically hear in HK. She's helpful and attentive throughout the trip. Although this tour was merged with other packages (like Simatai), we ended up with just five people on our Jinshanling adventure, which made the experience feel more personal and relaxed. We got separated from the main group, and picked up by our driver who ensured we reached Jinshanling safely and comfortably (+20¥ return ride). The scenery was breathtaking, and the hike was unforgettable. Christina’s guidance and the smooth handling of unexpected changes (we got lost in the hike, little late 😬) made the day truly special. Everyone I encountered in this trip (my first solo 🥹) contributed to a positive and memorable experience! Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a well-organized and enriching escape from the city with almost ZERO tourists, well maybe 2-3 other small groups, and some groups of students. 😆

Amazing experience, the area we explored was Beautiful and not crowded. The water town was stunning. Our driver was lovely and helped us navigate the ticketing.

The best combination is to visit Gubei Water Town together with the evening tour. It was simply the best experience! The tour was extremely well organised, and our group leader, Lucy, was highly experienced and knowledgeable. One of the biggest advantages was that everyone could plan their own movements, so we never had to wait for other people in the group. Clear instructions were provided everywhere, explaining what to do and where to go. It was an absolutely fantastic experience — highly recommended!

Fabulous tour! Susie took care of everything and was super well organized. The Jinshanling hike was spectacular and was great contrast to the Simatai night hike, which was also amazing but far less strenuous.

The timing was perfect. Three hours to hike Jinshanling, exploring the original buildings, gun emplacements, defensive structures, etc. Back in Gubei Water Town, there was still an hour to wander around, slowly strolling to Simatai just in time for sunset. We went straight up to the eighth tower and saw the sunset glow, the golden dragon of the Great Wall, and the night view of the Water Town. It was very worthwhile. Our guide, Guide Wang, was very meticulous in pointing out key features and confirming the itinerary and drop-off points for each family. During the trip, I lost my phone when changing the Jinshanling route, and Master An, Guide Wang, and the bus driver helped me find it, which put me at ease. Highly recommended.

What an incredible day! Visiting the Jinshanling and Simatai Great Wall was honestly one of those experiences I will never forget. Seeing the Great Wall in person is completely different from seeing it in pictures — the views were absolutely breathtaking 😱😍. Standing there, looking at the wall stretching across the mountains, I kept thinking, WOW… I’m really here! The entire tour was well organized, the transportation was comfortable, the food was delicious, and we had plenty of opportunities to take in the scenery and enjoy the experience. A very special thank you to Jane, who was absolutely wonderful! 🫶🏾 She was helpful, welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the day even more memorable. One of my favorite moments was Jane leaving a little part of herself in my travel book. That was such a personal touch, and it’s something I’ll be able to look back on years from now and remember this amazing day. The hiking definitely gives you a workout 😂, but every step is worth it once you see

the tour was absolutely worth it. great views with little to no crowd. our guide Roberta was in her best always ❤️❤️❤️ would reco this tour

If you want to see the view of the Great Wall from movies and paintings, Jinshanling is the section for you! It's not crowded and the tour organises all the transportation and route planning for you to get the best out of your experience! Gubei Water Town and Simatai Great Wall are also beautiful. I highly recommend this tour!

First time visiting GW in Jinsanlin and view of the sunset in Simatai.. beautiful and captured fantastic view.Quite an experience as the normal day walk and climb in Badaling and Mutianyu
