Go beyond the tourist trail

This ten-day adventure takes you beyond the tourist trail and deep into remote, rugged, and breathtakingly beautiful sections of the wall.

From crumbling ancient watchtowers and wild, untouched paths to carefully restored fortifications, each step reveals the history, scale, and majesty of this extraordinary feat of engineering.

Starting in the bustling heart of Beijing, you'll travel through centuries of Chinese history, trekking across dramatic landscapes, peaceful rural villages, and awe-inspiring mountain ridges.
