Beeindruckende Tage in Lijiang
Wir waren 3 N?chte in Lijiang, organisiert durch China Highlights. Wir haben den Jadedrachenschneeberg besucht, wurden in Baisha durch einen Naxi-Schamanen in die Bilderschrift der Naxi eingeführt, waren in der Tigersprungschlucht und sind durch die Altstadt von Lijiang gebummelt. Unser Guide Alice hat uns super geführt (englisch), ist auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen und wir hatten viel Spass und tolle Gespr?che miteinander. Ein tolles Erlebnis. more

China trip as a solo traveler
An den jeweiligen Orten wurde ich bei Ankunft bereits von ReiseleiterIn / FahrerIn in den Bahnh?fen / Flugh?fen und der Anlegestelle (am Ende der Yangtze-Kreuzfahrt) erwartet und abgeholt. Alles war perfekt organisiert, da auch alle Züge und Flüge (für mich als Deutschem aktuell leider keine Selbstverst?ndlichkeit mehr) auf die Minute pünktlich waren!Besonders hervorheben m?chte ich die spektakul?ren Bergpanoramen in Zhangjiajie und die sehr angenehme Art der dortigen Reiseleiterin Rachel. Sie war es auch, die mich motivierte, leckere kulinarische Spezialit?ten auszuprobieren, was mir im weiteren Verlauf der Reise sehr zugute kam.Auch Tensing E. m?chte ich erw?hnen, der mir Lhasa n?herbrachte und mit dem ich w?hrenddessen interessante buddhistisch-philosophische Diskussionen führte. more

Itinerary Quick Look
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests.
Your professional hiking guide will meet you at your hotel in Beijing at 2pm. Journey to the Huanghuacheng section of the Great Wall with a 2-hour drive.
Start hiking at about 4pm. It will take about 1½ hours to finish the round-trip hike, including four watchtowers. The wall continues eastward but you will not go any further as it's very steep and the wall is crumbling.
Enjoy a homemade dinner in a farmer's guesthouse and take a shower in the guesthouse before going back to the watchtower.
Your camping gear will be carried up to a watchtower on the Wall after dinner for your overnight stay on the Great Wall.
Wake up to a beautiful sunrise when you open your tent (Great Wall weather is often dry and clear, especially from October to May).
Go down to the village and have a simple local breakfast there before walking back up to the wall.
You will be impressed by panoramic views of the lakeside when you get to the first watchtower of Huanghuacheng. Continue hiking up and down on the Wall, meandering through bushes and forested areas, until you end your hike at Xishuiyu.
Enjoy a special hot pot lunch on the way back to Beijing. You should get back to your hotel in Beijing at 2pm.
