Situated about 130km to the northeast of Beijing, the Gubeikou Great Wall is separated into two segments: Wohushan and Panlongshan. The Panlongshan portion is suitable for an effortless stroll due to its excellent condition and less frequent intense ascents and descents compared to other sections of the Great Wall. This part of the wall spreads across the crest of a ridge, offering vast panoramic views on your hike.

Regarded as the most stunning segment of the Great Wall and a haven for photographers, the Jingshanling Great Wall was constructed roughly between 1567-1586AD, serving as Beijing City’s primary defence. It’s positioned about 135km beyond the Mutianyu Great Wall. This section boasts 67 watchtowers on a 20-kilometer stretch of the Great Wall, making it ideal for observing sunsets and sunrises on the Great Wall.

You have the choice of two different pick-up points: the Jinshanling main gate and the East gate.
