 | I have been to the following sections of the great wall: - eastern simatai and the trek from simatai to jinshanling - jinshanling to gubeikou - badaling - shanhaiguan - western jiankou - jiankou to mutianyu I would recommend the 10km trek from simatai to jinshanling. I was there during Jan this year. It was a relaxing 4 hrs walk/climb with great scenery! There arent many tourists around, in fact, I did not see another soul during the first 3 hours!

| My humble opinion: - eastern simatai and the trek from simatai to jinshanling (not too tiring and the view is fantastic) - jinshanling to gubeikou (you have to spend like 30% of the route outside the wall because a section was zoned off for military reasons) - badaling (crowded, rides available for those who do not wish to climb) - shanhaiguan (avoid, touristy) - western jiankou (slightly dangerous but great views) - jiankou to mutianyu (great views but not recommended as i find the part with the semi hanging ladder too dangerous) - mutianyu (badaling with less tourists) I would recommend the 10km trek from simatai to jinshanling. I was there in Jan this year. It was a relaxing 4 hrs walk/climb with great scenery! There arent many tourists around, in fact, I did encounter another person during the first 3 hours! |
