I had the same overwhelming experience on the Great Wall. At first I was sceptical. What was so great about just some bricks stacked upon each other. But when I stepped on the wall, I felt the thousand years of history right beneath my feet. That realization humbled me and send goosebumps down my spine in amazement of the human engineering and determination in general. And you guys slept on one, amazing!

There are more than 500 kilometers of the Great Wall in Beijing. You are visiting the unrepaired "Wild Great Wall" because the unreinforced and protected Great Wall is extremely vulnerable to damage. for reasons of protecting cultural relics, the government stipulates that climbing is not allowed here (although local mountaineers and campers often visit here for "pilgrimage"). If every tourist kicked only one brick from her, these great ancient buildings would not exist in a few decades.

The unrestored sections of the Great Wall, known as the “wild Great Wall,” are often in a state of disrepair, posing risks such as collapses and falling rocks. Climbing these sections can be quite dangerous. Nevertheless, the Chinese government does not prohibit visitors from climbing all sections of the wild Great Wall. In fact, as locals, we often visit these areas. The section in question is the Gubeikou Great Wall, and to the east, you can see the Panlong Great Wall. It’s truly beautiful here, but not as famous as the Badaling Great Wall, so there are fewer tourists. I don’t think the video needs to be taken down.

The train is not technically a high speed train as it’s a tourist train for sightseeing and goes to only 160km/h, while real high speed train goes up go 350km/h. Gubeikou is always less crowded than other more famous places like Badaling or Mutianyu, especially on these hot days. Camping is not illegal except for Badaling, but you need to take down your tent before other visitors showing up, guess that’s why the tour guide was in a rush

So enjoying this China series so far. I visited the Mutianyu section in 2013, as I didn’t want to get caught in the Badaling crowds, and I wasn’t on my own by any stretch, but was able to get selfies with no one around in a whole section between guard towers quite easily, so was pretty happy with that. I climbed all the way to the top part of the west section and got to where the restoration had stopped and all of a sudden there was just crumbled wall and over grown plants. I wanted nothing more than to carry on and explore that un restored section - I saw a few brave hikers heading off that way with their walking poles, but unfortunately I was on a tight time schedule. So it’s great to see you guys have some of that experience. Looking forward to the remaining videos!
Hiking to abandoned great walls was one of my best days during covid time, because we cannot get out of the city, so with friends together to climb so many sections of abandoned walls during the time. Hiking plus overnight camping on the walls was what we Beijingers like to do! I’m glad that you guys enjoyed! ❤

Many parts do not even have signals, nor any other human beings, meaning no supplies and no way to get a rescue. It can get freezing cold at night and there are animals you don't want to meet. If you are devoted to doing this, bring redundant supplies, wear redundant clothing and bring defensive tools.

I bet lots of people have going to the Great Wall on their bucket list, but camping on it is even cooler! You guys are quite the dynamic duo to brave snakes, possible lightning strikes and treacherous terrain (the crumbling Wall itself) to spend a memorable night on one of the world's Wonders. You are troopers--almost literally: At 14:00 you wonder whether the towers are actually made for camping, but I think that's exactly wat the soldiers manning the wall 24/7 actually did. They didn't exactly get the royal treatment with beds and silk pillows; they probably just pitched tents or just wrapped themselves in a blanket on the stone floor. Basically, you held the fort down, guarding China! Walking (or sleeping) in the footsteps of countless troopers. Keeping an ages-old legacy alive--what a memorable night (well a short one ending at 4:30 in the morning!) ;)

Camping on the Great Wall should not be encouraged. It is illegal on most of the unprotected parts (the Wild Great Wall) because it could be damaging to the relics. Moreover, it is NOT SAFE. There are a lot of snakes, some being very venomous and you could die from it. And since it’s so remote, many parts do not have signal coverage, you can imagine it’s extremely difficult for emergency rescue. There were people died from just climbing the Wild Great Wall and there were rescuers died from rescuing injured hikers on the Wild Great Wall 😢. So please be very cautious, you stayed safe this time but please don’t encourage such activities. It is an act of being responsible to yourselves, to the society, and to the history.

The Gubeikou Great Wall was built during the Ming Dynasty as part of the Great Wall’s defensive system to protect against invasions by northern nomadic tribes. Specifically, the construction of the Gubeikou Great Wall began in the early Ming Dynasty (late 14th century to early 15th century) and saw significant expansion and reinforcement during the reign of Emperor Yongle (Zhu Di).Although the area had Great Wall structures dating back to the Northern Qi period (around the 6th century), it was the construction and expansion during the Ming Dynasty that created the primary structure we see today.

most of the regulations are for safety. some sections might be sealed off because it's dangerous to be walking on top of it. the fruit you had are mulberries.

So …. it takes a 5 hour hike up steep mountainous terrain to get on that section of the Great Wall (one way), and you’re wondering why there’s no one else there ??? 😅😅😅. I’m sure my Dad with a bum knee or my Mom with a bad back would absolutely want to go for a 10 hour return mountain hike ! Jokes aside, I visited the Great Wall at one of the most popular (and highly visited) parts of the in 2007, accompanied by huge crowds of tourists. No thank you!. I would absolutely love to visit the wild parts of the a Great Wall as you have, ie. the overgrown, unrestored parts which due to their state are much more remote, less touristy, where you can appreciate the quiet majesty of the wall, it’s beautiful natural surrounds, and the fact that they managed to build something over the most insane mountains, and it’s still standing 2,000 years later!

13:20 that’s so cool! I’m a Chinese and I’ve been to the Great Wall, but never camped there!
@shanhuichen22523 ай бұрын
it looks like a private tour guide who was taking the risk of doing some kind of business illegal. That's why they had taken your camp tent away at 4 am. before being found out.

They don't speak Chinese. How do administrators communicate with they ? Did the villagers misunderstand the camping for moon viewing? If it so, englishmen lie the lady. They are adults, why don't they take responsibility for themselves? All rules they can find easily in internet. Why not compensate the elder man and lady for their physical and mental loss after they climb such steep mountain for whole night, just for finding foreigners as soon as possible? Englishmen need safety, don’t the chinese elderly need safety ?

According to the latest archaeological research, the most intact section of the Great Wall of China extends from Jiayuguan in Gansu Province to the current territory of North Korea. You heard right; the easternmost part of the Great Wall was once constructed all the way to what is often considered one of the world's most mysterious countries - North Korea.

WOW! That’s amazing. Can you post a link of where to find this tour? Thank you

The Lindesay Brothers on KZbin also operate private tour of the Great Wall. Since they are Brits and have been in the business since their father's time, communications should be less of an issue.

Chinese wake up at 5:00 am is very common in this spring-summer time.

most people just worried about your safety 😂 every year there are people bitten by snakes or hit by lightning on Great Wall. And don’t go to some really steep parts of it. Hope you enjoy your trip❤

This part of the wall was built in the Ming Dynasty, roughly starting in the 14th Century, so not really the thousand year old construction. Enjoy the trip!

I've been to several different parts of great wall, but this looks new for me. I think maybe the well-developed sites are too busy, so they chose this bit of the wall and got such a guide. The berry looks like mulberry. You can find in the UK too.

It seems like you visited an unrestored and undeveloped section of the Great Wall, known in China as the "Wild Great Wall." It must be a fascinating experience; many Chinese people haven't had the chance to go there, and I must say I'm envious.

Although it’s hot during the day, it could get very cold at night especially if there is a thunderstorm. So you need to be very careful camping on the wall

7:40 Those look like mulberries which come in many different colors and sizes and shapes. Next time get video close ups of the fruit on the plant with the leaves and the plant coming out of the ground for structure so it can be identified. If you learn plants, you can discover a lot about the world and learn about each country and microclimate. Fruits and vegetables are a good starting point.

Oh my, I think yours trip to Great Wall was very creative! Very few Chinese will go this way. I even have no idea you can camp on GW, lol

Perhaps it is the only country in the world that can write the vision of "Long live the great unity of the people of the world" on its landmark buildings. And this has been adhered to for more than 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China ~ Tian'anmen ~ China
