Traveler reviews
Great day and experience
The Water Great Wall is a very beautiful area. Plan 2 hours by car to get there though, but the time went fast chatting with our private guide. Few people when we got there. More peaceful. Excellent service.
Awesome day
Fantastic day trip. I contacted Lily that one of the reviewers posted, and she replied promptly. Hey were very flexible as we have a 11 month old with us. Some amazing views, and next to no people... very private.
Best Section of the Great Wall
I've been to 3 different sections of the Great Wall, and the Huanghuacheng section is the best! Definitely worth at least a private driver. Our driver, Mr. Xie, was prompt and on time at our hotel and kept us updated on how long it was until our destination. We only hired a driver but he took us up to the wall to make sure we made it up there safely. He knew basic English and was able to hold small conversations and was able to answer all of our questions. I was able to hold longer conversations with him in Chinese (he was very patient with my Chinese, as I am currently learning the langauge). This section of the Wall was very quiet, oddly so since it was peak travelling season in China, but we didn't mind at all. Its not a hard hike at all. The views were absolutely stunning.
Wonderful Adventure!
Our guide Rocky and driver Mr Xie took us to an unrestored section of the Great Wall. Everything was perfectly organised and Rocky was very informative and knowledgable.This hike is perfect for the fit and adventurous. We learnt a lot about Chinese history as well as contemporary life in China during the hike. Please be aware that this section of the wall can be precarious in certain areas, but Rocky ensured that we were safe at all times. It may be difficult for those of advanced age or with low to moderate fitness abilities. We only met two other hikers in 4.5 hours on the wall. This is also a perfect place for stunning photos. Lunch afterwards was delicious and the drive back to our hotel in Beijingwas spent snoozing in the comfortable van. We would love to come back in Spring or earlier in Autumn to see the landscape in different colours. Would definitely take a tour with Lily's Tour Guides again.
This was the highlight of our...
<p>This was the highlight of our Beijing experience! Rocky was an unbelievable guide providing so much culture on our trip up, and sharing great insight on the wall. Our group of 7 only saw one other group on this section, which is exactly what we wanted! Very difficult to climb, but well worth the trek. The lunch at the local restaurant after walking the Great Wall was unbelievable! Rocky ordered for us and it one of the best meals we had over 14 days in China! Highly recommend this trip and Rocky as a guide!!</p>
