Private Hiking Adventure: Gubeikou Panlongshan Great Wall

Highlights

• 24-Eyes Tower—the tallest tower on the Panlongshan section of the Great Wall
• The General's Tower—one of the command posts for this section of the Great Wall.
• Long views of the Great Wall running along ridgelines.

Description

Your hike begins with a stroll past a small reservoir, followed by a brisk ascent up a dirt track leading to the Great Wall. The climb isn't challenging, yet upon reaching the Great Wall, you'll find yourself nearly at the highest point of the entire hike. The highest point of the entire hike is the 24-Eyes Tower. The name '24-Eyes' is derived from the number of windows—six on each of the tower's four sides. Presently, the tower only has two sides due to damage over the years. After the visit to 24-Eyes Tower, you'll hike back down the wall all the way to the General's Tower, enjoying the views of a long line of the Great Wall unfolding in front of you. The General's Tower is a large structure that likely served as the command post for this section of the Great Wall. You have the option to climb on top of the General's Tower, providing a unique perspective akin to that of a soldier on guard.
