JInshanling Great Wall Hiking Experience And Give You Some Useful Tips


In November of 2012 we had visitors over from the Netherlands and we decided to show them a section of the Great Wall which is very special, we joined a small group of people organized by a local travel agency, it took us 3 hours to reach the starting point of the wall, we climbed up to the first tower and in 4 hours we walked up to the 22nd. tower sometimes we have to go up or down over rocks only as the stairs were collapsed and sometimes we were facing a large gap in the path as a part of it disappeared into the deep.
It was a great experience and we like to recommended this trip to anyone who is in good health!
Jinshanling Great Wall
As it is a whole day trip you have to prepare lunch and enough water for the day.
Our trip to Great Wall was memorable and priceless. Not only choose one of the sections of it but we did choose 3 of it, Mutianyu, Jinshanling and Simatai Great Wall. What the different between Mutianyu and Simatai? Yes, I found it out after I explored it first by Hiking the Great Wall of China.
Jinshanling was rather steep, yeah steeper than Mutianyu with several narrow paths on it. We should be careful when we climbed it. I love Jinshanling more than Mutianyu. Why? I think the biggest reason is because Jinshanling offers almost all the original features of Ming Dynasty Great Wall structures, with less renovation. Jinshanling is renowned for its wild wall, completely untouched since the Ming dynasty.
The scenery was just breathtaking and atmosphere was just relaxing. We even just met some of other travelers when we were on Great Wall of China Jinshanling. I could feel the Great Wall was like mine for several times! Extremely interesting! The experience could not have been more removed from those people who take a day trip out of Beijing to visit the immensely crowded, and artificially rebuilt Badaling section of the wall. Very ideal section if you want to feel the real Great Wall and back to the past of China, imagine how people built the Wall.
Jinshanling Great Wall id a real good place for you .when you are in Beijing and want to have a meanful holiday,No matter plan a Great Wall Hiking or Jinshanling Great Wall tour ! Great Wall of china tours choose Jinshanling !
