Great Wall of China
Trek Dates:
Sat 3rd October – Sun 11th October 2009.
This adventure starts in Beijing, and begins with a trek through the Black Dragon Pools National Park. Each day you will trek approximately 12kms along the stony path, twisting and winding its way along the mountains, interspersed with crumbling watchtowers. It is demanding but also very rewarding, particularly on a clear day when you can look at the vast and beautiful mountain ranges. On completion of your challenge you will return to Beijing to explore some of the many attractions of China's capital city: the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Lama Temple.
