We were greeted at our hotel lobby. We booked a private tour so we had a private car. The driver was amazing, very nice and very skilled. It was a 2 hr drive to get to the great wall but it's well worth it. We went in April, weather was chilly but after some walking on the wall, we warmed right up. Since it is quite a distance away from the city, there was less people which is what we preferred. Pictures we took were just us, the wall, and the surrounding view. It was breathtaking! After JinShanLing we went down to eat at a local homestay. It was very delicious local food. Then we continued on to Gubei Water Town and the Simatai Wall. At night, the town and the wall was absolutely beautiful. Pictures do not do it justice. The Watertown was built 20 years ago, so it's not old/original BUT they hired quite a lot of historical architects to construct a town to closely resemble old town from back in the day. I have to say, they did an absolutely amazing job. The details were amazing. It felt so real. It's definitely a must see/experience. Huang was very knowledgeable, he taught us China's history in full depth, the different dynastys and best of all, he can write traditional Han style calligraphy. Chinese calligraphy is something that needs to be continued on. On our way to the wall, he even prepared us handwritten calligraphy note, with our English names translated to Chinese. It was very thoughtful of him and we absolutely loved it! Huang was also very patient and helped us take some spectacular pictures! We highly recommend him!!!

The views were amazing. We took a lot of photos, also with the drone. Anson was a great guide who took care about us. He provided a good mix of information about the Chinese history, time for photos and organized a very good dinner at jinshanling.
