The Wild Great Wall Alternative - JianKou Great Wall Guide

WELCOME GREAT WALL ADVENTURES! First-time visitors to China who want to experience the Great Wall have few options. They can reach it via a general great wall guided tour, or they can reach it through specific arranged services. What I offer is vastly different than a common great wall guided tour. Herein is the difference:

Great Wall Usual Guided Tour This is generally the all day great wall guide trip that the typical tourist experiences. You will be transported to a large parking area shared by busses, cars, and hundreds of people. Groomed paths will head up the mountain filled with visitors. Once you reach the wall you will share it with even hundreds of more persons. Children, litter, concession areas, vendors, rest rooms, and whatever else reaches the wall with ease will walk the Great Wall with you. You will be like a sardine in a tin, and that is China tourist typical. If that's what you want, you do not need me.

The Great Wall Alternative This is a 2 day wild great wall trip that visitors seldom get to experience. Your own English speaking guide will transport you to a remote farm setting where you will spend the night and dine on freshly prepared food. In the morning you will awake refreshed, have breakfast, and then be guided to a remote section of the wild Great Wall that is not renovated. You will see it all as it was, untouched and left as an archeological site for the favored few. There will be no children, litter, concession areas, vendors, rest rooms, or anything else that walks with you. Where I take you will be China majesty that is untypical. Only through the services of a bi-lingual hiker, organizer and guide could such a trip be accomplished. If that's what you want, then you do need me.¡¡
