Overview
Take a trip to Great Wall of China on your China Vacation
Spanning the distance of half the world's equator, the Great Wall of China is the longest wall in the world. It was envisioned as a defensive project to protect China's north and promote the expansion of the Silk Road. Construction of the wall began in the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE) and continued through many different dynasties. One of the most visited tourist attractions in the world, the Great Wall of China receives an estimated 10 million visitors annually.
Hiking is a popular way to appreciate the enormity and design of the wall. You can also head on a night walk on the beautifully lit wall, camp under the stars, enjoy a picnic in Mutianyu and Simatai sections, toboggan slide down the wall, and or even go on a helicopter tour over it. There are no toilets on the wall, so use the restrooms in the valley before ascending. As there are no shops or restaurants either, carry essentials and have a full breakfast/meal before setting out.

What do the experts say?
It is very enjoyable to travel in China by high-speed train, but you should avoid travelling during the National Holidays from October 1 to 7 and from May 1 to 4, as they get extra busy.
Jinxian Road in Shanghai is a small road but full of superb, Michelin-recognized restaurants. I highly recommend visiting here on your travels to China.
China's many beautiful natural sights and rich cultural areas are what I love most about visiting. Some of my personal favourites are Yunnan's Shangri-La, Xinjiang, Zhangjiajie, and the 5 Great Mountains.

ExcellentBased on 5,282 ReviewsKatie was great, planned everything we needed, was great with changes and trip schedule conflicts. Fantastic working with her.CTI have been booking with GoWay for more than 2 years and feel so fortunate to have the best Travel Advisor, Maria Spitman, making our vacations unforgettable. I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. DarleenGoway has been amazing to work with.

From the time I contacted Goway until now, I have been more than satisfied with our experience. Our agent Michael put together a 8 day package with all the requirements we had asked for. The 8 day trip went so seamless & took all the stress off us travelling in Portugal. Michael not only listened to what we wanted, but he was so quick to respond to all of our calls, emails & concerns. The transfers, hotels & tours he arranged were the best. We would highly recommend Goway. I can hardly wait to book our next adventure with Goway. Cathy
