Destinations: Chengde-Qinhuangdao
Activities:
After breakfast, you will drive to Qinhuangdao, we will visit the Old Dragon's Head fortifications, where the Wall meets the sea, and which is considered the easternmost point of the Great Wall. After our visit, we will hike from Old Dragon's Head directly to Shanhaiguan Pass (also known as the First Pass Under Heaven). This pleasant hike of 1- 1½ hours will take us through some small villages until we see the Gate Towers of the Shanhaiguan Pass Fortress, far away. A short drive will take us to the Fortress itself. After a one-hour's visit of the Fortress and the Great Wall Museum inside, we will be transferred to a courtyard hotel (with private washroom and hot showers) for our first overnight stay near the Wall.
Check in at the hotel in Qinhuangdao.
