Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

A visit to the Great Wall of China presents a fascinating experience. Built along the rolling ridges of steep mountains, it offers spectacular, even awe-inspiring views, and is surely one of humankind's greatest architectural achievements.


The Great Wall

Departing from the port of Tianjin, begin your excursion with a scenic journey through the countryside to one of mankind's most impressive creation, the Great Wall. During the journey to the Great Wall's Juyongguan Section, your guide's commentary about the country and its people makes for an interesting drive. After having a Chinese-style lunch at a local restaurant near the Wall, begin the afternoon exploration of the Juyongguan Section of the Great Wall.


Nothing quite prepares you for the sight as you approach this part of the Great Wall. Built centuries ago, the wall stretches for over 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometres) and ranks amongst the top wonders of the world. The Juyongguan Section of the Great Wall also enjoys the reputation of being 'The Number One Strategic Pass Under Heaven'.


Leaving the Juyongguan area, embark the coach and sit back and relax during your journey to the ship.
