Bring your camera of course, the beautiful scenery will make you not stop clicking the button, but be careful and focus your attention on the way when you walk on dangerous sections. Bring enough food and plenty of water, but pack lightly. Wear comfortable shoes and proper clothing. A pair of sunscreen or a hat will be necessary to protect you from sunshine. Also, bing some pocket money in case you need to buy anything on the wall.

Bring a backpack to carry water and an umbrella. It get extremely hot, very hot. Sunscreen a must and mosquito protection. It was great! Once in a lifetime opportunity. Don't forget your camera...

I climb different sections of the great wall in northern beijing....Jinshanling is one section I plan on climbing next month. If you like we can make separate arrangements to climb it together.
