Choose from two options to explore the Jinshanling section of the Great Wall: a guided tour, a transfer-only. Guided Tour: Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel in Beijing and drive to Jinshanling. After about a 2-2.5 hour drive, arrive and ascend to the ramparts by cable car. Your guide will recommend different walking routes and vantage points along the way. Admire the wall’s original condition, with less restoration, making it a popular place for photographers and Great Wall lovers. Private Transfer: Your friendly private driver picks you up in the hotel lobby and drives about 2-2.5 hours to Jinshanling. Then, explore the wall and enjoy the amazing view. After this wonderful self-guided tour is finished, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
