Superb sunset experience at the wall

Exactly the experience I was hoping for. Met Jackie at the meeting place in Beijing, we got picked up by a tour bus and off to Jinshanling we went. On arrival, Jackie gave us some information and set us on our way to meet us about 4 hours later at the General's Tower. For the next hours we experienced a really quiet part of the wall which ended with an absoutely stunning sunset at the General's Tower. Recommended if you want to experience a quieter part of the wall and walk on your own. I especially think doing the sunset experience was a good choice. The hottest part of the day over, very little people on the wall and the chance for a beautiful sunset.

Worth seeing this beautiful uncrowded section of the Great Wall

Two friends recommended this uncrowded section of the Great Wall and we are glad they did. If you like hiking and are not afraid of steep steps up and down, definitely do. We enjoyed the sunset tour.

Fantastic Great Wall trip

We had a great time on this trip, well worth paying the money to visit this part of the wall. It was very quiet with very few other people and excellent for pictures. Our driver spoke good English and helped in anyway he could. Word of warning, it’s not an easy hike with lots of steps!!

Unique experience

Recommended, deserted wall, incredible photos, excellent organization and timing. I recommend it to those who want to see part of the real wall before the restoration and to those who, like me, do not like organized tours and group waiting times... well, here you won't have to wait for anyone and can experience the visit independently.

Sunset tour

Do the sunset tour- it is truly magnificent. My friend and I went with driver Jackie, and it was an incredible experience. The views are unbelievable, and this section of the wall isn’t busy so you can experience everything without a huge crowd. We had time to explore, hike, and enjoy the views and met up for a drink at sunset. The small group of 5 made logistics and transportation easy as well.

One of the best walks of my life!

Incredible tour, highly recomend. Easy meeting point in Beijing. Convienient stop before the wall to get drinks etc. Walk itself was breathtaking, yes a little more steep and challenging than imagined but worth every minute. Plenty of time on the wall itself, not rushed or anything, relaxed pace. Only saw a handful of other tourists on the wall, very quiet. Would go every weekend if I could!

Surreal experience hiking the Great Wall!

Incredible and surreal experience hiking the Great Wall with little to no crowd at all. Our driver and tour guide Jackie was outstanding—he was friendly, clear with instructions, and provided great conversation. He was also patient and allowed the entire group to fully enjoy the sunset until everyone was ready to leave. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience a more remote part of the Great Wall.
