Best way to see the great wall (if you dont mind hiking)
Great way to see the great wall. You get to walk in your own (very relaxed) pace and explore, and see both restored an unrestored sections, with great views of the wall and the surrounding mountains in the beautiful afternoon light, without too many other people. Its far from Beijing but worth it in my opinion. Some sections are steep with missing stones. A lot of people gather for the sunset so that part is not the most calm, but still great. Good guide who ensured that everything worked out, and otherwise let people go on their own just as advertised.

10/10 experience
It was AWESOME, have not seen other parts of the wall but I definitely feel like I made the right decision. I had originally booked the normal day tour, which got canceled because of a thunderstorm and the wall was closed. But Jackie reached out via WeChat (was easier than via TripAdvisor, he mentioned during the tour that what's app would have been possible as well, but I cannot confirm for myself). Anyways we rescheduled to a day later to the sunset tour and it was gorgeous. Definitely recommend. Everything worked super smooth: pick up at the start and end of the tour and the guide made extra sure that no one got lost. He gave a few Infos on the wall and the tour but walking was on our own, so we could enjoy the view at our own pace (we walked at a chill pace, stopped several times and were still an hour too early at the sunset spot in the end). You should be fine walking uneven terrain but it is worth it. Go try it out!

Great Day Out
This tour went very well for us. We were contacted the day before to organise the pickup for the next morning. Pickup was an easy location to find, all straightforward and well organised. The actual tour also went well, with an amazing 6km walk on the Great Wall. Something we've wanted to do for many years. It's an incredible place and well worth visiting. Dropped off again at the end of the day in the same pickup location. Would fully recommend this tour for those who want to see a long stretch of the wall, and also avoid the crowds at the wall locations that are closer to the city.

Amazing hike on the Great Wall with no crowds
This was such an amazing experience. The view from the Wall was truly breathtaking and it was amazing to avoid the crowds that you can find at other sections. I would say you need to be in very good physical condition because it’s a challenging hike, with lots of up and down stairs and steep parts. But it’s all worth it. Thank you to our guide Jackie!

Amazing Experience
The sunset tour to the Jinshanling section of the Great Wall was amazing. There were very few tourists on the wall which made the experience even better. Our tour guide Jackie was really nice. He even gave us a certificate at the end. Would definitely do it again!

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small Group Morning/Sunset of 6km hiking Jinshanling Great Wall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Small Group Morning/Sunset of 6km hiking Jinshanling Great Wall cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Small Group Morning/Sunset of 6km hiking Jinshanling Great Wall take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Small Group Morning/Sunset of 6km hiking Jinshanling Great Wall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 374 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small Group Morning/Sunset of 6km hiking Jinshanling Great Wall?
+
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 Small Group Morning/Sunset of 6km hiking Jinshanling Great Wall suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small Group Morning/Sunset of 6km hiking Jinshanling Great Wall?
+
Around 131 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small Group Morning/Sunset of 6km hiking Jinshanling Great Wall 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 Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options, Beijing: Top 6 Highlights All Inclusive 2-Day Private Tour, Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip With English-Speaking Driver. 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.
