Pékin Randonnée

Le temps est amplement suffisant ! Les explications et recommandations du guide pour le parcours étaient très claires. L'itinéraire prévu consiste à monter par la porte centrale (Zhunduankou) et à descendre par la porte est (Dongwuyanlou). On peut y voir la Grande Muraille serpentant à perte de vue ! Cependant, veillez impérativement à porter des chaussures antidérapantes et à consulter les prévisions météorologiques, car la pluie et le brouillard peuvent rendre l'ascension vraiment dangereuse ! Certaines pentes sont très abruptes et les marches sont de hauteurs très variées. Un voyageur de notre groupe s'est d'ailleurs fracturé un os et a dû être descendu de la montagne par cinq personnes se relayant. Le guide a fait preuve d'un grand professionnalisme pour aider à la prise en charge du blessé ! C'est l'une des sections de la Grande Muraille à Pékin que je recommande vivement de visiter !

Martin was a great guide! He was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories and historical facts about the Great Wall. The overall organization was smooth and straightforward. As for the hike itself, the scenery was absolutely beautiful! Some sections were quite steep. The Great Wall was fairly crowded but the experience was still very enjoyable. The hike was divided into two parts: the 1st was a guided walk with Martin and the 2nd was a more challenging climb that we could explore at our own pace. To get back down, you have 3 options: walk down or take the chairlift/enjoy the toboggan slide for an additional fee. However, the slide waiting time is at least 1h.

We had a wonderful half-day private tour to the Terracotta Army with Mason. Although our trip was short and we only visited the Terracotta Army, we had a really great time. Mason’s English is excellent. He speaks fluently and clearly, so communication was very easy. He knows Qin history very well. He explained the stories of Emperor Qin Shi Huang and the terracotta warriors in a vivid way, not just reading a boring script. Mason’s service was also fantastic. He was punctual, patient and professional. He guided us through the museum, answered all our questions, and never rushed us. He perfectly handled our tight schedule. This short tour became a memorable experience. We highly recommend Mason as a private guide in Xi’an. We would love to book him again if we return. Best Tour Guide 5stars
