Great Wall of China Trek
Fundraising pledge: Varies depending on the chosen fundraising option
About The Event
One of the Seven Wonders of the World, The Great Wall of China has to be the ultimate building project the world has ever known; constructed by human hands over 2000 years ago, it stretches across this hilly region with long spurs and watch-towers often disappearing into the mists.
This trek is very varied, as you'll pass through woodland and terraced farmland, and follow the contours of the beautiful hills and mountains in remote areas north of Beijing. You'll follow old sections of the Great Wall, as well as restored sections with smooth flagstones and lots of steps!
This trip is an Open Challenge, so other participants may be fundraising for different charities.
