If you like some challenge hiking experience and also want to avoid crowded tourists, this all inclusive private tour is a great fit for you. You will hike on Jiankou Great Wall, which is connected to Mutianyu Great Wall in the east, and joins the Dazhenyu Great Wall in the west. Since the mountain here is higher and steeper, this section becomes more winding and varied. 'Jiankou', is translated as 'Arrow Nock' in English, because the shape of the mountain is like an arrow, with the collapsed ridge opening as its arrow nock.

James was an excellent guide and we had an excellent experience with this company. They made everything easy and everything was top quality from transportation to accommodations to food to our trek. Our trek was challenging enough to be interesting but not too hard - perfect for our family. And James brought us to parts of the wall that were less traveled so it was less touristy and a real experience. 5 star, couldn't recommend enough.

First visit to the Great Wall and we hired James to take us to Jiankou! We had a blast and James was exceptional! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
I would definitely recommend him and the hike in Jiankou! You get to see the original Great Wall without a lot of tourists everywhere and you also get to do a pretty challenging hike!
