Join #TeamHDA for this once in a lifetime trek across the Great Wall of China
One of the Seven Wonders of the World, The Great Wall of China has to be the ultimate building project the world has ever known; constructed by human hands over 2000 years ago, it stretches across this hilly region with long spurs and watch-towers often disappearing into the mists.
Event information:
This trek is very varied, as you will pass through woodland and terraced farmland, and follow the contours of the beautiful hills and mountains in remote areas north of Beijing. You will follow old sections of the Great Wall, as well as restored sections with smooth flagstones and lots of steps!
For more information on the trek, including what is and isn't included, please look through the Discover Adventure information pack:
