   Intelligence Valley

   It’s said that if you walk all the way up Intelligence Valley you will become more intelligent. If that’s true, then walking back down it may have the opposite effect, so we will continue out of the valley to finish at Shentangyu Park and try to take our newfound intelligence with us. A clear stream runs through the valley, and the surrounding mountains form a microclimate that makes this a very nice walk. At this time of year there is plenty of small waterlife to look at, making it an interesting walk for kids to do. We’ll get a bbq lunch at a local restaurant after the hike – the cost of the food and drinks is included in the price of the hike.

   Intelligence Valley - Basic hike information
   Cost: 300RMB (150RMB for children under 12); Bus leaves from Lido Starbucks at 8:30am; 2 hours travel each way; 2.5 hours of hiking; return approx. 4:30pm.

   For this challenging hike we’ll travel up to the far north-east of Beijing Municipality. We’ll walk along the seldom-visited Gubeikou Great Wall, passing into Hebei Province, and ending up at the Jinshanling Great Wall park after a detour through the farmland surrounding Hemp Village. After a late lunch in one of the restaurants at Jinshanling we’ll head back to Beijing. The cost of food, drinks, round-trip transportation, and park tickets is included in the price.

   Please note we’ll be leaving at 8am for this hike.
