I had a great day with my tour guide Bruce! After an 1.5 h drive to Jiankou, we started our hike and Bruce took me up the hill to an unrestored part of the Great Wall. We had an amazing view from there! Then we followed the wall towards Mutianyu. It was great fun following that path that could be quite steep or full with rubble sometimes. Bruce explained me everything I wanted to know, not only about the wall, but also about Chinese culture and Beijing. He was very friendly and considered my wishes anytime. The lunch in the end was delicious! I would recommend this tour with Bruce to anybody who is fit enough to do a medium challenging hike and wants to get to know more than just the touristic part of the Great China Wall.
