What an amazing and awe-inspiring day! The Yellow Flower Great Wall hike with Dom is a day out to remember. We went last week, early April, and the mountains were cloaked in white blossom, making them look almost as if they were covered in a light dusting of snow.
The hike, which sometimes became a bit of a scramble, was enormous fun and you got a real sense of achievement to reach the top and gaze across the mountain peaks.
Dom was an excellent guide, very personable and easy-going, yet a real professional. There was never a problem if you wanted to stop to take photos, or for a breather - and we did both plenty of times! Despite the effort required, Dom somehow managed to make the day relaxing, perhaps because there was no rush and we could just do it at our own pace.
If you want an up close and personal experience on the Great Wall and see it in its natural unrestored splendour, I highly recommend this trip.
