A great vacation begins with a great tour guide. Hello, I am Sonia - your reliable local guide in Beijing. Originally, I became a tour guide because I love traveling, hiking and exploring. Along the way, I found that I really enjoy sharing insights and stories with people.

Overview of your Beijing tour

If you can visit the Great Wall only once, let it be Jinshanling. As a seasoned Great Wall hiker, I've returned here countless times, and it still amazes me. Jinshanling Great Wall stands out for its remarkable preservation, offering authentic features and spectacular, unobstructed views—so much so that it was chosen by National Geographic for a major documentary. It remains one of the least crowded sections, where you can still feel the ancient atmosphere and enjoy a peaceful walk amidst breathtaking scenery. Option A (Most Relaxing) Cable Car Round Trip – Minimal walking, maximum views. Perfect for comfort. Option B (Most Popular Balance) Cable Car Up – A quick, scenic ride to the top. Walk Down – A memorable 1.5-2 hour walk on the Wall itself. Option C (Most Active & Complete) Walk Up & Down – A full hiking experience (about 3 hours). Total flexibility. Your Great Wall, your pace. Options: -Jinshanling Great Wall Sunset Tour -Jinshanling Great Wall + Gubei Water Town Tour

Your Beijing tour itinerary
