1. Hiking The Great Wall of China

Don’t be fooled, this hike is nothing like a usual trail. Built over 2,000 years ago, The Great Wall stretches out for more than 1,500 miles! Showcasing amazing views across the mountains of Northern China then winding North of Beijing, The Great Wall is one of the largest building construction projects ever completed. In some areas it thrusts up at 60 degrees, which is so close to vertical that it’s practically a ladder! An eight-day trek from World Expeditions costs around £996. Exploring the wall over seven days, trekkers camp alongside the wall and can experience historic sites such as the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. The best time to go is in spring, when China is at its greenest.
