Have a Night Tour

Hike on Simatai Great Wall

Among all the sections of the Great Wall, Simatai Great Wall is the most unique one. It is nearby the Gubei Water Town and has got the allegedly most beautiful night views. If you like to stay late, hiking on Simatai Great Wall at night would be a great idea. You can get there in the afternoon and spend half your day in the Gubei Water Town, and then trek along the magnificent Great Wall at night.

Camp at Huanghuacheng Great Wall

Huanghuacheng Great Wall is one of the undeveloped sections of the Great Wall. Most people choose to hike here, but we suggest you have a night camp here. It would be fun to camp inside an old military tower and away from the daily routines.
