Take on a global adventure across an ancient wonder — all for your local hospice.
The Great Wall of China is the longest man-made structure in the world—a monumental feat of engineering and endurance. Stretching an astonishing 8,850 km (5,500 miles) across the rugged landscapes of northern China to the sea, it winds through mountains, valleys, and rolling hills.
This unforgettable trek takes you along a remote and less-travelled section of the Great Wall of China, from Gubeikou to Jinshanling and Simatai. You’ll walk on centuries-old pathways, some painstakingly restored and others left wild and rugged, offering a truly immersive experience of one of the world’s greatest wonders.
Throughout the trek, you’ll stay in traditional guesthouses, offering a deeper connection to local life. It’s a chance to experience authentic Chinese hospitality, learn about rural culture, and enjoy incredible home-cooked meals that showcase the region’s rich culinary heritage.

- All transport in China
- Accommodation (hotel in Beijing for 3 nights, guesthouses on trek for 4 nights)
