Great time at the wall
We had an incredible experience with sunset at Jinshanling. I've been to several segments of the wall, but this was a first. The photography opportunities are fantastic; this section is incredibly photogenic.
via Tripadvisor
We had the best sunset time at the great wall! No other tourists, perfect time!
When we saw only 6reviews we got unsure about booking this trip. We did it anyway, Nikki and I, from France and Netherlands and we cannot recommend more!!! Peter our chinese guide spoke perfect English and great driver with him. He was very knowledgeable and we got picked up from our hotel in Beijing center. It was about 2.5h drive to the wall section, and all tickets and diner was arranged for us. Peter our guide was suuuuuuper friendly and chill. We are photographers and he made sure we would enjoy every single part of the wall, and be on time for the perfect spot for sun Setting behind the wall. He was also very flexible about where we wanted to be for our best photo location and we staid until after sunset. What an insane day! The wall was quasi empty we managed so many images of it with barely seeing 30 people the whole day!!!! Do this! Book this ! shinjanling isthe best!

Amazing
Can’t recommend this tour enough! There were no crowds at all on this section of the wall, but what made this tour exceptional was our guide James. He was extremely knowledgeable about Chinese history and the wall, and even sent us some drone footage he took of us on the wall. Everything was perfect from the time he picked us up (in a lovely spacious and comfortable car) to being dropped off at the end. An excellent experience!

Trip of a lifetime!
This was an unforgettable experience. James was amazing and we met so many friendly people along the way. The Great Wall was breathtaking and the dinner after sunset may be the best we’ve ever eaten. Highly recommend!!!

All inclusive Private Sunset Walking Tour at Jinshanling Great Wall from Beijing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does All inclusive Private Sunset Walking Tour at Jinshanling Great Wall from Beijing cost?
+
Prices start at $229 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does All inclusive Private Sunset Walking Tour at Jinshanling Great Wall from Beijing take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.
Is All inclusive Private Sunset Walking Tour at Jinshanling Great Wall from Beijing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule All inclusive Private Sunset Walking Tour at Jinshanling Great Wall from Beijing?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is All inclusive Private Sunset Walking Tour at Jinshanling Great Wall from Beijing suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book All inclusive Private Sunset Walking Tour at Jinshanling Great Wall from Beijing?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does All inclusive Private Sunset Walking Tour at Jinshanling Great Wall from Beijing start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Beijing?
+
On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Temple Heaven, Lama Temple, Summer Palace & Peking Duck Bus Tour, Beijing Mutianyu Great Wall Sightseeing Full-day Group Tours, Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Beijing?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Beijing?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
