Unparalleled itineraries

We operate Great Wall hiking tours around Beijing since 2009. We avoid tourist crowds at Badaling and organize activities in remote and less-tourist sections at Mutianyu, Jiankou, Gubeikou, Jinshanling, Huangyaguan etc. Our products had been carefully researched and examined before launching. Our itinerariess had been proved very popular among more than 6000 travellers in the past 7 years.

Quality western style service

Our team had been engaged in travel industry for 15 years. We know western travellers very well. All our hiking guides are carefully selected and well trained in order to guarantee the service. All the guides will walk with clients on the Wall from the beginning to the end. We have detailed policy for accommodation, meals, snacks, water, vehicles, guides, drivers etc. Our feedback collection also help us improve our service regularly.

Professional hiking guides team

There are 6 professional hiking guides in our team. They have a minimum of 3 years’ experience of guiding people on the Great Wall. Three of them spend 200 days a year on the Wall. They fully escort the clients from the beginning to the end of the hiking on the Wall. They speak fluent English, answer your questions, organize meals, check your guesthouses and accommodate your special requirements. It’s not easy to be a hiking guide at four seasons (35 Celsius in summer and -20 Celsius in winter) on the Wall anyway. They are the core assets of our business.

Non-shopping policy


We’ve been employing strict non-shopping policy in all our operations since establishment. We have zero tolerance for any kind of shopping stops. We firmly believe that clients should spend their valuable time on the Wall instead of commissioned shopping stops.

Responsible travel


We’re a local operator with a professional local hiking guides team based in Beijing. We also employ local farmers’ accommodation to direct tourist dollars into local community.
