Want to see the Great Wall at its rugged, jaw-dropping best? You’re going to have to go with someone who really knows what they’re doing, then! That’s where we come in, giving you the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see this incredible monument with the World’s foremost Great Wall historian. You’ll set off early in the morning to reach his remote farmhouse two hours outside of Beijing, which serves as a base for spectacular hikes along a totally unrestored, wild section of the Wall. But your reward? Some of the most epic Great Wall views imaginable without another tourist in sight, and a hearty, home-cooked dumpling lunch back at the farmhouse afterward.
As you trek, your historian will bring to life the sheer scale of the Wall, the human effort that went into it and even helps you uncover on-site clues that offer a fascinating insight into its creation. Heck, we’re practically inviting you to become Indiana Jones for the day…
