On August 21 Beijing Day Trips took 2 people on a 2-day trip to the Great Wall at Jiankou with an overnight stay in a farmer village.

Upon arrival at the wild wall we had a sandwich lunch at the ruins of a watch tower and then climbed over the “stairway to heaven”, a steep and narrow climb up the mountain.
In the evening we had a healthy dinner with local specialties and the next day we were up early for the sunrise and a not so special breakfast.
The morning we spent doing the 5km hike over the wild wall and we had our well deserved lunch at the resort by the lake.
