10-Day Shanghai-Beijing-Xian-Shanghai Customized Tour
Wendy,
The entire tour was excellent! We just returned last night from the US.
Could you please send me the evaluation form for our Beijing part of the tour? We did not receive it and would like to send in feedback since we were able to do this for the other two parts of the tour in Shanghai and Xian. Herbie was by far our best guide and we want him to get the positive comments he deserves. We will complete the form and send it directly to you.
Thanks again Wendy. I will recommend your company for future tours to China.

Detailed Itinerary
The Great Wall at Jiankou is located in Huairou District, 80 km northeast of Beijing. The guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel and then drive about 2 hours to arrive in a village called Xizaizhi at the bottom of Jiankou Great Wall; passing through a picturesque valley on the way.

Start our hike. We will take a small mountain trail straight up to the wall. This part takes about 1 hour, and it is not that easy, but you will find it worth when we get to the top and stand on the huge wall: a deserted watch tower is right where we emerge into the Wall, from which you will have a panoramic view of the whole valley, of the Xizaizhi village, and of the wall itself, snaking and disappearing over the mountain crest. The hike along the wall will take about 4 hours and it is fairly easy though the wall runs along the mountain crest. One highlight is the watch tower known as ‘Ying Fei Dao Yang’, built on the highest peak in the area. The peak is so steep that the flying eagles have to raise their belly up to reach the tower for a perch. Finally we arrive at Mutianyu section, full of tourists and also stunning sceneries. You can hike down to the parking lot or take the cable car/toboggan down (cable car/toboggan is optional with extra fee) if you are too tired. The driver will meet you there and will transfer you back.
