The Gubeikou to Jinshanling hike is a nice long walk that covers the more mellow line of Great Wall at Gubeikou and ends up at Jinshanling, where the wall runs up and down steep ridgelines.
On a clear day the views are awesome, as the wall can be seen running along ridgelines into the far distance.
The wall here at Gubeikou is covered by shrubs and trees.
We hiked up to the tall tower in the background.

Looking back again – we’d hiked all the wall you can see in the photo.
Here we’re on the wall at the western end of Jinshanling.
