| Overview |
Imagine the Great Wall in all its former glory and tread the elevated highway as it stands today. Dating back 2,000 years, the Wall was originally made of compacted earth and built to keep out marauding nomads from the north. Gradually the structure has deteriorated and some sections have turned to dust, but over the subsequent dynasties, several strategic sections have been rebuilt and reinforced. Travel at a leisurely pace with a local guide and picnic amid the breathtaking scenery. Flanked by days in Bangkok, this Great Wall adventure is a great way to experience one of the most iconic parts of the world and see this great land from another perspective.

| Itinerary |
Day 1 BeijingFind a bargain at the wonderful silk markets, see Beijing's vibrant hutongs by rickshaw or try some piping-hot dumplings. Days 2-3 Great WallStretching over 6,000 km the Great Wall is an almost unbelievable feat of ancient engineering and a lasting reminder of Chinese imperial history. Trek with a local guide through remote areas, past crumbling staircases and watchtowers overgrown with vegetation. In places the Wall zigzags up inclines and straddles peaks like a suspension bridge, offering a chance to gaze out to mountain ranges in the distance. Days 4-5 BeijingConquer the last part of the world's longest fortification and enjoy a picnic lunch on the wall before heading back to Beijing. Once in the city seek out a restaurant offering Peking duck to celebrate this Great Wall ramble.
