Great Wall of China Challenge

Walk history. Push yourself. Make a lasting difference.
From wild, unrestored ridgelines to beautifully preserved ramparts, this unforgettable challenge takes you across some of the most dramatic and remote sections of the Great Wall of China. Over nine incredible days, you’ll explore Beijing’s imperial heart before trekking between Jiankou, Gubeikou and Jinshanling — soaking up epic sunrise-to-sunset views and staying in traditional village guesthouses along the way.
This is more than a trek. It’s a bucket-list adventure with real purpose.
Start & finish: Beijing
