THE GREAT WALL RESERVE

The Great Wall. Our own story.

Wonderful hikes, nights beneath the stars, and local knowledge built since 2003.

GREAT WALL ADVENTURE CLUB · SINCE 2003

Stay beyond the viewpoint.

Walk from tower to tower. Watch the evening light cross a ridge. Wake near the Wall while the landscape is still quiet. Our own Great Wall Adventure Club programs bring another dimension to a private China journey.

Choose a standalone hike or camp, or weave the experience into a longer itinerary.
