Hike a loop around Xiangtun Village, passing through chestnut and walnut orchards, visiting repaired Great Wall, and hiking by the stream in ‘Big Cloud’ Canyon.

We hike by Xiangtun Village on some of our longer walks, and the main attractions in the area are the Longquanyu Great Wall, a mostly-repaired section, and the ‘Big Cloud’ Canyon, a deep canyon with a small stream running down the middle.

For this visit we’ll start in the village and hike the easier part of the wall here, and finish by descending into the canyon and following it back up to the village.

Previously a farming area, the village is a small collection of courtyards and houses that are now mostly converted into guesthouses and small restaurants. The villagers still maintain their chestnut and walnut orchards, and when we’re not hiking up on the Great Wall or down in the canyon, we’ll be walking narrow dirt tracks through the orchards on the hills around the village.

We’ll finish our walk in the village square, and while we picnic you should also be able to shop for walnuts, chestnuts, and other village produce.

Kids club: relaxed outings for kids to enjoy some family time in nature. This outing is best for ages 6 and up. Younger kids could walk in places but would need to be carried for most of the hike.

Cost: ¥360 / ¥325 members / ¥180 for kids 7–12 / ¥160 for kids 4–6

Please make your booking through our website, and we'll email you all the information you'll need for a fun day out, including contact details for your guide and information about where to meet. Reservations are essential, and making a booking is quick and easy.
