Always dreamed about conquering the Great Wall in China? Here in Beijing, you will have such a possibility. Some parts of the wall are under restoration, but the majority is ready to be conquered. Hiking is the best choice to explore this landmark and enjoy the pleasant view. If you are a skilled hiker, then you must try the Jiankou section. Here you will experience the jagged route that was built on steep mountains. The section of Mutianyu is quite busy, but also offers the outstanding panorama. The favourite section among tourists called Badaling. If hiking is an activity that is not close to your heart, then take a bike ride to Fragrant Hills. The best time to trip there during fall, when all the area starts changing colours towards autumn shades.
If you have the lack of adrenalin and desire to re-fuel your trip with bright impressions, then Beijing bungee jumping is waiting for you in five various spots. Here jumping areas are divided into three kinds. The first one is Bungee platform, which is extended from the cliff, then Bungee Tower and last one are the Bungee Rocket. The first spot that we advise to try is Bungee Jumping in Shidu, which belongs to the first type. In Shidu you will have two platforms of 48m and of 55m. Both platforms are extended by Juma River.
