This is the best part of the Great Wall in Beijing area. Authentic and Wild, but relative safe to go. Do needs private transport though. On the way to there, you could dinning in some nice country resturant or in actual village family, organic foods.

But wear some good shoes and be prepared to climb some steap stairs, this is not for everyone. If you have trouble walking or climbing elevated areas... More

The tour group China Spree was a high quality affordable tour that took us from Beijing to the Great Wall and many other attractions. It was an outstanding trip.
