This Great Wall of China trek is not only a prime cultural experience for travellers — a great opportunity to see one of the modern wonders of the world — but also a chance to give to a charity through this operator’s fundraising component.
​Your tour will begin in Beijing, where you see the Chinese capital’s most famous sights, before heading to a remote section of the Great Wall in Hebei Province. Camping in comfort in exclusive locations, and being hosted by local families, this adventure provides not just a glimpse into the magnificence that is the Great Wall, but also into the everyday life and people of rural China.
