Adventure Community Activity Discovery

A fascinating trek, with the grandeur of China literally at our feet

Lion gate in the Forbidden City, Beijing

Stepping out across the peaceful semi-ruin of a section of the Great Wall is like walking in the footsteps of the past. Far from the madding tourist crowds students are able to get a great sense of the scale and the majesty of this remarkable piece of engineering without rushing through in a big group. As they trek along various contrasting sections of the wall, your students will get closer to day-to-day life in rural China before returning to Beijing, a city steeped with history yet plunging headlong into modernisation.
