1 CHINA Great Wall of China

2 ChINA Great Wall of China The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest wonders of the world. It was listed as a World Heritage by UNESCO in Just like a gigantic dragon, it winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching approximately 13,170 miles (21,196 km) from East to West of China. With a history of more than 2,000 years, some of the sections are now in ruins or have disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions all around the world owing to its architectural grandeur and historical significance. The Great Wall was built for defensive purposes, especially to stop attack from the North of China. The history of the Great Wall is said to start from the Spring and Autumn Periods when seven powerful states appeared at the same time. In order to defend themselves, they all built walls and stationed troops on the borders. At that time, the total length of the wall had already reached 3,107 miles, belonging to different states. Enjoying the fame of Wan Li Chang Cheng, the main structure of today s Great Wall starts from Hushan inliaoning in the east and ends at Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu in the west, via the nine provinces or cities in northern China, including Liaoning, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia and Gansu. It is often compared to a huge dragon winding up and down in the mountains, grassland and deserts.

3 ITINERARY DAY I - Depart from the UK and fly to Beijing. DAY 2 - Arrive in Beijing and transfer to our accommodation. Have some time to explore the local area and to pick up any last-minute essentials for the hike! DAY 3 - With an early start, we will complete the hike through Jiankou (10km/6 miles, 5 hours). Jiankou is well-known for its incredible mountain scenery - there are some fantastic photo opportunities here. DAY 4 - Today we will begin our trek from Huanghuacheng to Xishuyu (6km/4 miles, 5 hours). This part of the wall is known as yellow flower fortress as the nearby fields turn yellow when all the flowers come in to blossom. DAY 7 - Panlongshan to Huangyaguan (6km/4 miles, 5 hours). We will see some spectacular architecture along this section of the wall as its designed to represent the whole Great Wall in miniature form. DAY 8 - We will drive back to Beijing, stop for photos at the Olympic Village with Bird Nest and Water Cube on the way back. We will also have the opportunity to tour the Royal Summer Palace. DAY 9 - We will visit Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City, then tour Beijing s old residential quarters where you can feel the old culture of this part of vanishing old town called Hutong in Chinese. DAY 10- Depart from Beijing and head back to the UK. DAY 5 - We will continue our journey to Xishuyu (6km/4 miles, 5 hours). There are lakes and a reservoir nearby. Some lower parts of the wall here have been submurged by water. If we are lucky, we ll be able to see these parts of the wall through the clear, glassy water. The views today will blow us away! DAY 6 - On day 6, we will travel from Gubeikou to Jinshanling (10km/6 miles, 5 hours). We will see some of the unrestored parts of the wall on our journey. We will get to experience the more wild and rugged areas surrounding the Great Wall.

FLIGHT INFORMATION Group flights leave from London Heathrow or Gatwick and are booked through Wexas Travel Ltd under ATOL licence By travelling with The Bucket List Company your finances are protected. Our itineraries are always based on current flight schedules and are therefore subject to change by the airline. TRANSIT STOPS When booking group flights we endeavour to find the best flights that match our itinerary. There are often no direct flights to our destination, so do be prepared for transit stops: bring a good book or chat to your fellow explorers! Airlines that do offer direct flights rarely offer competitive rates for groups. CULTURAL DIFFERENCES AND FOREIGN TRAVEL Everyone wants to travel to have new experiences and our trips are no different. We will let you have new experiences that will push you out of your comfort zone. This is all part of the challenge you are signing up for. The main things you will need to bring with you to gain the most out of your trip are a sense of adventure and a sense of humour, with these in tow you will have a brilliant trip. ACCOMMODATION We will be staying in either hotels, hostels, tents or huts depending on the finalised itinerary. FOOD All meals are included from when we get to our camp and depart from the camp to head home.

5 GENERAL INFORMATION DIETARY REQUIREMENTS Having dietary requirements is not a problem provided you let us know well in advance. If you know there are plenty of, foods you cannot eat you may wish to bring extra snacks from home so you can top up your energy supply. PASSPORT, VISA and VACCINATIONS British nationals need a visa to enter mainland China, but not Hong Kong or Macao. For mainland China, you must get a visa prior to arrival, including for Hainan Island. For details of entry requirements to China contact the nearest Chinese Embassy or Consulate in good time before your proposed trip. Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months from the date of your visa application. If you have less than six months validity on your passport, but have a valid visa, you should be able to enter China for the duration of that visa. Yellow Fever vaccination is required for travellers who are arriving from, or have transited through, countries with risk of yellow fever transmission. CLOTHING EQUIPMENT We know what you need! Therefore, our equipment list will mean that you will be perfectly attired and outfitted for your whole trip and well under baggage allowance. We find most people already have in their possession what is necessary for a trekking trip and very little else in the way of specialised equipment is required. LUGGAGE If you need help and support on what to buy please contact us. We can also sell you the kit you require through our extensive network of suppliers. WEATHER In China, a vast land spanning many degrees of latitude with complicated terrain, climate varies radically. China has a variety of temperature and rainfall zones, including continental monsoon areas. In Winter most areas become cold and dry, in summer hot and rainy.
