Sunrise & Sunset Camping on the Great Wall by the Lakeside

Experience the once-in-a-lifetime adventure of sleeping overnight on the Great Wall of China, something once reserved only for ancient soldiers. Spend the night in a historic watchtower, overlooking the mountains and the shimmering lake below.
Hike the wild and unrestored sections of the Wall, where crumbling stones and dramatic landscapes provide a glimpse into history far from the tourist crowds.
Capture unforgettable moments of both sunset and sunrise from atop the Wall — views you can only enjoy by camping overnight at this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A family-friendly tour suitable for travelers with children or seniors who wish to enjoy the Wall at a slower pace.
Ideal for travelers on a tight schedule in Beijing. If you have a flight or train the next day, we can arrange a direct drop-off from the Wall for a small fee.
Perfect for adventurers who want more than a day hike — spend the night in a watchtower and wake up to the Wall glowing in the morning sun.

Day 1: Beijing → Huanghuacheng Great Wall (Afternoon Hike & Camping)

Depart Beijing around noon for a 2-hour drive to the tranquil Huanghuacheng section.
This unique area combines the Great Wall with stunning lakeside scenery — here the Wall winds over mountain ridges before dipping down to meet Hao Ming Lake, creating the rare sight of “Wall with water, and water without Wall.”
Enjoy a peaceful afternoon hike along the Wall, photograph the sunset, and then set up camp inside a watchtower. This overnight camping experience on the Great Wall will be the highlight of your trip.

Day 2: Sunrise on the Great Wall → Return to Beijing

Wake up early to catch the sunrise — around 5:00 AM in summer and 7:00 AM in winter. The morning light over the mountains and lake makes for unforgettable photos.
After breakfast, return to Beijing in the morning, arriving in time for your onward travel plans.
