The Great Wall of China: Hiking & Camping!
The two days we spent exploring remote portions of The Great Wall were some of the most awe-inspiring, challenging and beautiful days of our 21 days in China! We started day one on the Jiankou portion of the wall and then to the Huanghuacheng that night. We hiked in the dark and set up a tent to camp on the wall, waking up the next morning to gorgeous songs of bugs and wind passing through the mist the next morning. After packing up the camp site, we hiked the Huanghuacheng section for the rest of the day. I highly recommend visiting these gorgeous pieces of the wall and experiencing history far from tourists. It's truly unforgettable.

Best Way to See the Great Wall!
Poppy and I avoided the crowded, touristy areas of the wall and instead stayed with a local couple. Here, you can see the wall stretching into the distance for miles and miles and miles - with absolutely no one in sight - just me, Poppy, and our guide.
What an incredible experience! I hope that some of you guys can visit!
watch Poppy's Great Wall video!
(not sponsored or paid or anything like that - this couple couldn't even speak English - I just genuinely want them to get more business; they deserve it!)

Which Section of the GREAT WALL OF CHINA Should You Visit? | Abandoned or Restored
Which Section of the Great Wall of China should you visit? This was probably the biggest question we had before travelling to China. Mutianyu? Badaling? Jinshanling? Or how about off the beaten path at the Great Wall Fresh Homestay? - This film aims to determine once and for all, which is the best section of the Great Wall to visit.
I'm trying something a little different with this film - it's longer and more documentary style. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Sliding down the great wall (Mutianyu) in China, Beijing/Peking
Beijing, China.
After walking the great wall in China we had the chance to slide down from the great wall. It was a great fun slide. Better than walking down or using the cablecarts
Great Wall of China - Hiking in Winter
Great Wall of China - Hiking in Winter
Hiked 3 sections of the Great Wall in winter. We did it without any guides after studying blogs and posts by fellow hikers. All these sections are different. From the unrestored Gubeikou Great Wall where we were the only people around, to the wonderful Jinshanling Great Wall where the climb is steep and every direction gives you good photo opportunities, to the restored Mutianyu Great Wall where we hiked in heavy snowfall.
Stayed at local farmhouses on both nights. Ate local meals and hitched rides to nearby bath houses because the homes have no bathrooms! Temperature ranged from -5 deg C (day) to -12 deg C (night). Winter daybreak is at 7am. Sky becomes dark by 5pm. You have only 10 hrs of daylight, so plan your travelling and hiking schedules carefully!!
This once-in-a-lifetime experience was captured on video and we would like to share it with you. The feelings just can't be described. You need to experience it first hand.

Simatai Great Wall Hike
A 2-4 hour Challenging hike at Simatai Great Wall. For more information, please check:
Travelling to The Great Wall of China | Leo Hostel Secret Wall Tour | Beijing.
Taking a break from our teaching life, Apartment #1003 took a quick trip from Wuhan to Beijing to hike The Great Wall also known as The Long Wall, through the Leo Hostel Tour. Take a read for my experience plus some tips!
The first day was filled with exploring the city, bike riding, exploring Tian'anmen Square and indulging in food at The Cheese Cake Factory.
The second day, we had booked a tour through our hostel, The Leo Hostel, for their 'Secret Great Wall Tour'. The cost was 300 RMB inclusive of transport, and lunch. The tour seemed to be offered for other travellers who were not staying at the Leo Hostel too!
The tour started at 7.25am, but we only hit the road just before 8am. Enjoy a nap on the private bus, until you arrive to the Ancient Badaling Wall. The tour allows you 3 hours to hike 7 watch towers, to return at the meeting spot for around 1.30pm. Please note, no actual tour guide or representative of the Hostel hikes with you.
There was literally noone on the wall except for us! All our photos and views were free from other tourists, and everything was quiet.
This hike was quiet difficult, with extreme inclines, and some sections being slippery surfaces. Please don't be a wally and wear comfortable running shoes.
We did this hike on Septemeber 2nd, and it was blue skies of 34 degrees. Bring a minimum of 1.5 Litres of water and a hat and sunblock. It was very hot and made the hike slightly more difficult.
After the hike, you get your fresh Chinese lunch, and then get back on the bus to go back to the Hostel for around 5pm.
If you are looking for a fun, challenging and more importantly tourist free tour...100% would recommend this tour.
Later that evening, we visited the area of Chaoyang District, more specifically the Sanlitun Courtyard to a place called The Taco Bar. If you are looking for a cool, hip and friendly environment to have a GOOD meal, check it out. The area is fresh, and the food was one of the best meals we have had since living in China.

Great Wall of China, Beijing - Winter is the best time to visit China!
The Great Wall of China is a World Heritage wonder and the only man-made structure that can be seen from outer space. It's a jaw-dropping sight at any time of the year but for a special treat, go in winter. You'd be surprised to find that winter is the best time to visit China and to explore the Great Wall without the crowds. The winter wonderland landscape is ethereal, especially when it snows on the Great Wall.
When visiting the Great Wall there are several places you can climb the wall. You can take a Badaling Great Wall tour or a Mutianyu Great Wall tour.
Visiting the Great Wall of China is one of the most iconic things to do when you're in Beijing. Walking the Great Wall of China is something everyone should try at least once. You don't have to walk the whole way. Well, you'd have to be pretty fit to do so!
It's a day trip to visit while staying in Beijing. My tour was organised by Bespoke Beijing. I stayed at China World Summit Wing in the Shangri-La Beijing.

Jinshanling, Great Wall of China | Beijing | China | Hiking the Great Wall
Here's our travel vlog of the Great Wall of China. We went during the busy Mayday period but escaped the crowds by visiting the Jinshanling section of the great wall. The wall was quite hard to climb in some places and we didn't get too far down the Great Wall of China as we didn't have too much time. It was a really amazing trip and I would totally reccomend the Jinshanling section of the Great Wall of China if you are visiting Beijing in the future.
The day ended with an epic rant after some incredibly rude and un-remorseful tourists cut a massive line and were all-round jerks. I don't generally feel good about other peoples misery but I'm glad to say that they missed the bus they were so rudely cut to get to.
