Very helpful information about Great wall tour. All travellers should read this carefully; it will help you to travel Great Wall of China. Due to the popularity of the Great Wall of China, the place is worth of paying for a trip. A trip with friends or cousins to the great wall hiking tour will become a memorable trip for you. I had gone to China with my friends last month. Due to first time in china, we traveled there by help of a travel company namely Greatwall Trekclub.

In reply to megan_claire. Tom went to see it and luckily, chanced upon it on a good day despite going to one of the busier sides! Definitely still consider visiting Meg :)

Bang on ! This post is what I am looking for as I do hope to make a trip to the Great wall. However, the information is so scattered that I ceased looking and kept putting it off till the time I am ready to go there. Your post has precisely what I need – which trail to pick and why. I am so bookmarking this for my reference and will be sharing it around too. Thanks

I’m really looking forward to revisiting the Great Wall one of these days. I lost all my photos 10 years ago due to my hard drive + backup drive catching a crazy virus so I need to go back and re-take the Beijing photos. I went through Badaling the last time. Luckily it was nowhere as crowded as that pic you showed but still, I need to go through another route just to see it from another angle. Your detailed guide is very useful!

What a fantastic guide! Good to know that there are options to go to areas of the wall with less people. I shudder at the thought of only seeing it with flocks of other tourists with me. Makes it so much harder to enjoy.

It’s so great to know that we can even camp by alongside the Great of Wall of China! Just wow. Now I have one more added on my bucket list. That photo above, throngs of tourists flock in one place, looks unbelievable. I’ve seen a similar photo somewhere on the internet and I thought it was photoshopped. ( haha) Just couldn’t believe it. But the most fantastic thing here is you could by helicopter, I wish I could do it too!

Thanks for your guide, this has actually changed my mind somewhat about wanting to visit – I had previously thought I wouldn’t ever go – because the version of the Great Wall in my head is magical, and authentic, however I know that the reality would ruin this magic and I don’t want to be fighting against millions of crowds.

But if you can avoid certain sections to get away from the crowds perhaps the experience may still be a special one. Huanghuacheng Great Wall sounds like it’s a good section for this. Though I love that there are hiking options and crumbling ruins of the wall at Jiankou Great Wall.

Thanks for the tip on taking a tour with The China Guide; private and personalized is my style. I really appreciate this post!

In reply to Aleney de Winter. Right? I can only imagine the aerial views from the top of the wall would be equally as impressive!
