Beijing Jinshanling Great Wall Hiking Tour with Tickets

A very good tour to visit the Great Wall of China almost alone. If you have enough time for a day trip, it's definitely worth it. Since it's currently the off-season (November), different tours were combined, so we had to wait about two hours for departure before the end. However, there was Starbucks and Pizza Hut. I would recommend the tour.

Adventurous experience recommended to experience the authenticity of the Great Wall. Please note that the guide will accompany participants to the entrance of the Wall, and then the visit will continue independently. In addition, the section to be covered is adventurous. We also participated in a night trip to Gubei and admired another section of the Wall at night; I was happy about it!

Amazing experience! Very glad I choose to come to this part of the Great Wall. The view is incredible and best of all, there is hardly anyone around. Good ample time to pace at own comfort. Also, this trip is the cheapest offered across many platforms to get to JinShanLing. In addition, I opt to visit the GuBeiShuiZhen (古北水镇) and the night view of the place is beautiful. It’s not overly crowded like some other 古城 in China. Spent about 3hrs there and I think the amount of time is just right. Last but not least, I would like to compliment tour organizer, cheche (车车) for her meticulous effort in ensuring that everyone gets clear instructions on their itinerary (there are various options for this trip) Although she is not a English speaking guide, she did an excellent job of explaining in both Mandarin and English. Thumbs up!

The entire bus journey to and from Jinshanling went smoothly and on time. Mr An who transferred us in a private car to Jinshanling recommended us to a local restaurant which served tasty fried rice and noodle soup for lunch. Jinshanling Great Wall is so beautiful and peaceful, we'd a marvelous time hiking the wall for 5 hours.

Jinshanling Experience - this review is specifically for the Jinshanling Section: On the bus on the way to the wall we stopped and were picked up by a car which took us to Jinshanling. We weren’t given the best instructions but I knew there was a ‘loop’ you can do. Once you start the Jinshanling section head towards the ‘East Gate’ and you can walk down and take a taxi or shuttle back to the Medial Gate (see photo of map below). This section of the wall is amazing, it combines restored parts with parts that have been untouched, at the East Gate there is 3 more towers you can visit of untouched brick and stone, highly recommend it’s amazing to walk along. It’s so quiet too, I was the only person there. Afterwards we were picked up at 4pm to be taken to Simitai section, this was probably a bit early as we had to wait around for a while for the rest of the tour group to finish here. Overall a great experience and highly recommend!

5/5 - for the Experience!!! Jinshanling Great Wall is perfect for adventure seekers like me 😅! The terrain is stunning, with steep climbs, rugged paths, and endless stairs—challenging but incredibly rewarding. This less-crowded section boasts breathtaking views, original watchtowers, and sweeping landscapes. I pushed myself to hike the full loop, returning to the starting point instead of taking shorter scenic routes—because why not relive the adventure? 😆 Special thanks to Cindy, who ensured my safety as a solo traveler. Though my driver and I didn’t share a language, he was very kind, and Cindy stayed in constant communication. Recommendation: Wear sturdy shoes, bring water, and start early to fully enjoy the hike. If you're up for a challenge, go for the full loop—it's tough but worth it! A must-visit for hikers who love adventure and stunning scenery.

excellent trip, JinShanLing is with nicer view & much less crowded. if time allowed, it'll be much more worth it to come here. Tour Guide Susie provided all information i need, highly recommended!
