Itinerary
- 1Start your excursion at a time to suit your schedule, and then leave your Beijing hotel by private vehicle. Travel by air-conditioned car along the west countryside and gaze out of the window at some of Beijings’ most beautiful mountains. Pass through several villages, and finally stop in Cuandixia ,a famous ancient village.Your English speaking guide will explain histories and stories about this village on the way. Only 60 km away from Beijing there is a picturesque mountain village called Cuandixia Village. This village is located at the valley of Jingxi mountain area, and it is known for its well preserved 500 Ming and Qing dynasty-style courtyard houses owned by 70 families, ancient but unsophisticated, just like another “Shangri-la”. These houses on the hillside have remained largely unchanged for centuries, surrounded by mountains and luxuriant forests. Steep stairs and lanes paved with rocks are simple and unadorned. The village was rated as a village of great tourist value and has been placed under national level cultural relics protection. It was also a great place to take photos. Many of the families (all descended from the original founder) opened their homes to provide meals for visitors.If you want to stop for lunch, feel free to tell your driver or guide for help Return to your private vehicle, and travel back to Beijing city. Your private tour then finishes with a hotel drop-off.

- JeanS10920 contributionsExcellent activityExcellent trip, I highly recommend. My driver, Gao Dapeng, was professional and very friendly and helpful. I had an excellent time.Written August 19, 2024
- 340theresiaw0 contributions10/10This section of the wall is beautiful and deserted, our driver Su Debin recommended that we walk from the east tower to the main entrance. In hot weather this is enough and the east tower has the best view. Su Debin was very friendly and organized, he drove safely.Written August 17, 2024
- thomaslW7239OR0 contributionsComfortable trip to two astonishing monumentsEverything was just great! The driver was friendly and caring, he even helped us a lot with getting tickets. The trip was well organized and comfortable. We would definitly recommend this private transfer. The driver let us take all the time we needed to enjoy the sceneries.Written August 10, 2024
- A9643VRchrisg0 contributionsAmazing ExperienceWe decided to drive to Jinshanling and had a great day. Our driver Yu Yongtai picked us up directly from the hotel and drove us to the ticket counter. We were able to communicate very well with his translation app. He was very helpful and polite. He had enough water for us with him for the journey and the way to the wall and the air conditioning made the journey very pleasant. We got a few tips from Yu Yongtai and then hiked up the wall. The view was breathtaking. The section of the wall was not crowded at all and we hiked for three hours on the restored and unrestored parts of the wall. Afterwards, Yu Yongtai drove us back to our hotel. It was a trip that we can only recommend!Written July 19, 2024

- michaelcJ6475NO0 contributionsFive-Star Experience with Zhang BoMy friends and I booked this trip to Jinshanling with Zhang Bo and we had an excellent experience. Mr. Zhang met us at our hotel in central Beijing with a placard that read our names. We then drove just over two hours to the Jinshanling section of the Great Wall. Having been to another section of the Great Wall before, I am very impressed with Jinshanling. The views are fantastic and there were only a small number of other hikers. We decided to hike from Mid-Gate to East Gate and met Mr. Zhang up the road. I suggest others take note that certain sections of the wall are quite steep and strenuous. In addition, I feel the price is reasonable given the driving distance and wait time - we departed from our hotel at 8:00 AM and returned at 4:30 PM (giving us about three hours on the wall). Overall, this was a five-star experience. As a last note, I advise any foreigners leaving Beijing to Jinshanling/Simatai to bring their passport. Since the wall is outside of Beijing in Hebei province, you pass through a police checkpoint as you return to Beijing. This is easygoing, but you must produce your passport.Written July 19, 2024
- Matheus V0 contributionsThe best birthday I’ve ever hadWilliam Kuang was the best guide we could have asked for, me made sure we had a great time while hiking and also took some stunning pictures of us. Really recommend doing the tour with him. It was my birthday and it was 100% worth the visit.Written July 16, 2024
- 826magena0 contributionsAmazing experienceXia Qing Gang was an amazing driver. He was on time, respectful, and brought great snacks! The views were amazing. Would recommend going in the morning.Written July 11, 2024
- Darica E0 contributionsAmazing place and driverHad an amazing time today with this activity! We went together with 6 friends and had Mr Tian (田伟) as private driver. He was very friendly and accommodating. He helped us buy the tickets, dropped/picked all of us at our different hotel locations and even offered us some water and Coca Cola in his car. The place itself is also stunning ! A must visit if you’re around. We highly recommend to have Mr Tian as driver if you’re planning to go.Written July 2, 2024
- 855pierces0 contributionsGreat viewsWe had a great visit, which exceeded our expectations. Our driver, Mr Tian, was polite and considerate. The views of the wall were spectacular, and the water town turned out to be much nicer than we thought. We took the gondola up and back down. The standard length of the trip is 8 hours, but we felt we needed at least an hour longer to really enjoy the views after nightfall.Written June 28, 2024
- Pioneer156391792860 contributionsSafe and quick drive to SimataiZhang Bo was an excellent driver. I felt very safe and comfortable with him. He offered me water during the drive. Picked me up in the hotel lobby and was waiting for me on the arranged spot at Gubei water town. Although Zhang Bo only knows a few words in English, communication was very easy with the translator app and just our face expressions :) Five stars well deserved!Written June 22, 2024
- annavJ3883IF0 contributionsGreat experience with the Great wall private transferToday I had a great experience with private transfer to the Great wall. Driver Tian Wei arrived on time to pick me up in the hotel,car was very clean. I also appreciated that there was bottled water,as I forgot mine in the hotel, and fresh fruits. It was a pleasant detail. Tian Wei was helpful and professional, he drove carefully and helped me with tickets on arrival. He speaks chinese,but its totally fine as google translator helped a lot,so everything went smoothly. I had my 3 hours to enjoy the wall. It was very nice and comfortable experience, literally nothing to complain, just one big thank you! I highly recommend this service!Written June 18, 2024
- jakelH1548YU0 contributionsFantastic Experience to Jinshanling Great Wall with private driverOur driver Tian Wei 田伟 师傅 was so helpful! He got to our hotel lobby earlier than the expected pickup time. His car had adjustable reclining chairs with leg rests, along with bottles of water and coke. He was even had cherries and bananas too which was really impressive! His driving was so smooth too. Tian Wei was a great help in getting our tickets smoothly! Before the hike started, he took out two ice cold water bottles from a cooler in his car which we were extremely thankful for during the hike. He even offered to bring us to an affordable quaint lunch spot for some food after our Jinshanling Great Wall. A fantastic experience and I felt very welcomed and safe throughout!Written June 16, 2024
