“You have not lived if you have not been to the Great Wall” or so the Chinese saying goes!
The Great Wall of China has been voted one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, as well as being one of the only man-made monuments that can be seen from space. Stretching for 6,000km (3,750 miles), the Great Wall zigzags its way across China – it is a true monument to man’s labours.
The Great Wall Challenge is a fantastic 5 day trek along this magnificent structure taking us over watch-towers and mountains, through historic battlement stations, and to conquer the 1,000 steps at Mutinayu – not for the faint hearted!
In addition, this trek brings you to the Badaling Old Wall section where you will ‘lend a hand’ repairing a watch-tower on the Wall.
We‘ll even have free time to enjoy the hustle and bustle of Beijing and all it has to offer both modern and ancient.
It is a country of contrasts that will impact on your senses, don’t miss this opportunity to see the real China.
An ancient wonder – an amazing accomplishment – join this Challenge today!
