Sleeping on the Great Wall

Date: May 16－1:30 pm

Venue: China Culture Center

Price: 950-1,200 yuan

This unique tour offers you two memorable experiences on the Great Wall. The early morning hike along the Great Wall on top of the mountain range gives you breathtaking views in relative isolation, while spending the night just by the Great Wall under the evening stars－is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not to be missed. CCC chooses some sections of the Great Wall near the border of Beijing, which is less touristy and more natural and even "wild". The Great Wall snakes its way through fantastic natural scenery in the mountains. Many watchtowers dot this part of the Great Wall, from which you can see the capital city on clear days.
