Day 4Qinhuangdao

Attractions: Dongjiakou, Great Wall Village, Eastern Qing Tomb

Meal: Not Included

Hotel: Overnight in Qinhuangdao

Dongjiakou is one of the important fortresses of the Jizhen Great Wall built by Qi Jiguang, a famous military general of the Ming Dynasty, and the northern wing of the Shanhaiguan Pass City. And then, back to the village to visit the ruins of the fortress and to chat with the villagers, who are the descendants of the builders and guards of the Great Wall, and who have proudly maintained this section of the Wall generation after generation, without government funding.

In the late morning, we will start our 3-hour hike westward along the Dongjiakou Great Wall, stopping to have a simple lunch along the way. At the end of our hike, we will start our long 4-hour drive to the site of the Eastern Qing Tomb, where we will stay in a nice hotel nearby.
