Your Challenge...“You are not a man if you have not been to the Great Wall”, so the Chinese saying goes. Stretching for 6,000 km (3,750 miles), the Great Wall zigzags its way across China – a true monument to man’s labours. The Great Wall Challenge is a 9 day event, trekking over watch-towers and battlements, and conquering the 1,000 steps at Mutinayu – not for the faint hearted! You will trek over parts of the Great Wall well of the tourist trial, giving you an insight into the real China. An ancient wonder – an amazing accomplishment – join this Challenge today! |
