Hiking the Great Wall

Hutong School students at The Great WallNext Saturday, November 6th, we are going hiking the Great Wall. We will be hiking from Jiankou, known as the “Wild Great Wall,” to the more restored section in Mutianyu. Jiankou Great Wall is remote, quiet, and rarely traversed— you will probably not see any other tourists for the entire morning. It is a rigorous hike, providing stunning views of the surrounding mountains.

The Wild Great Wall at Jiankou is located in the district of Huairou, about 80 kilometres north-east of Beijing. Unlike some sections, such as Badaling that have undergone extensive restoration, the wall at Jiankou is still quite rustic. During this trip, you will also be able to compare this section to the more repaired section at Mutianyu.

Same great quality, bigger scale.

Hutong School is now operating as That’s Mandarin. Now you can expect the same great Chinese lessons with access to online Chinese learning platform NihaoCafe.
