- I've always wanted to hike along the Great Wall of China, but camping there was a whole nother level. It was a 10/10 unique adventure and definitely made it onto my BEST travel bucket list.
😱 Watch till the end and me know your thoughts. Would you consider doing this, or do you think it's stupid?

If every visitor steps down a brick from this unrestored and unprotected section of the Great Wall in a few decades these magnificent and beautiful structures will no longer exist. I'm against you doing this, but I love this video.
On the other hand, interest will lead to restoration and survival - and this is already happening. Minimal restoration of what the centuries of wind and rain have done, retaining the original worn features but stabilising them and making it more robust and safe.
Just a bit worried about conservation, otherwise good one…stay safe and enjoy China..
@BeijingBuzzz-China-Travel Say it's easy but it's a monumental task.and a lot of money needed to. restore it.Best not to disturb the site to make the task easy to restore. Dont make sense to replace old bricks with new concrete bricks.
Totally understand your point. It would be amazing if the government watched the video lol and comes up w a strategy for how tourists can hike and camp safely while adhering to the rules and protocols, similar to those in place for Mount Everest in Lhasa like limiting the number of tourists could help preserve this area + travel agencies offer these packages = win win situation for all idk 🤷🏽♀️
@@NayomiqueOfficial unfortunately even Mt. Everest is getting trashed because most people are not respectful and do not think about preservation... and the Great Wall is so huge and remote, impossible to guard.
The Great Wall is a piece of Art, every tourist has the responsibility to take good care of it !
@hardymung great wall is also a place of endless pain 1.000.000 people deid from starvation building the wall of the ming dynasty which is only 6.500 km of the total length of the great wall that was built by (21.196,18km) qin,han,ming,jin,and other chinese dynastys
8:49-9:20, just WOW! The sky, the cloud, the mountain, the wall... Majestic
I have to clarify: the Great Wall is a nationally protected cultural relic in China. Climbing or camping on the undeveloped Great Wall is illegal, and if you are caught, you may be fined. If it is determined that you are destroying cultural relics, you will face the risk of criminal prosecution, and the crime of destroying cultural relics in China can be punished by up to 5 years in prison.
So, I hope you will also know the risks while enjoying yourself.
She’s an entitled Millennial trying be cool.
I hope the structures (bricks, walls ) of where the tents were set up were not damaged in any way. And all litter were cleared after you. Please be mindful of this great treasure of China. Thank you.
Spending the night on the Great Wall, watching the sun rise from one of the world's Seven Wonders--this has got be on everyone's bucket list! My only reservation is that you camped out on what looks like a particularly ruined (and potentially unstable) section, introducing issues of safety and historical preservation.
Probably not going to collapse anytime soon because it probably been there for thousands of years.
@@foodparadise5792 Actually what we see now is hundreds, not thousands of years old, and from the video you can already see it has been falling apart. And that probably started happening before tourists started camping atop the towers.
@@foodparadise5792 Several walls were built from as early as the 7th century BC, with selective stretches later joined by Qin Shi Huang (220-206 BC), the first emperor of China. To be precise, the Great Wall was built more than 2,000 years ago.
这个是野长城,比较危险,北京政府不允许进入,而且夏天北京雷雨多,很容易雷击,虽然我佩服你的勇气,但要注意安全。
請保持地方整潔,絕對不可破壞文物,祝旅程順利!
The sunset scene over the Great Wall is just breathtaking, with the ancient walls bathed in a golden glow and the vast landscape stretching out for miles and miles. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience.
On these rugged landscapes building a chain of walls is an extremely hard work. Oh our great ancestors.!
You got to go you got to go. But think about everyone camp there needs to pee and poo , the Great Wall won’t be a beautiful scene pretty soon. The tour guide is the one to blame IMHO
Thank you for not using the BBC filter when filming in China
I also think camping on the Wall is illegal so do your research before you actually do it.
I still don’t think it’s illegal because I’ve seen some (chinese) flags of hiking and climbing groups and associations. Also passed by some people here and there along the way. And if it was illegal I would’ve never posted this video online 😅
Beijing should ban camping on the great wall now!
@@MM-nd1ld 没有意义,长城太长了,很多地方都管不到,也没有去修复,还不如规范当地导游
说因为你没办法在上面camping吗?搞笑
@a9udn9u-vanced I think they have to ban campaign on the great wall because is not a happy place is a of endless misery 1.000.000 deid from starvation by building the wall it took them 70 years to build it thousandths of wariors died there defending the wall ether by starvation or in battle
Why? It’s super fun~
Regulate it? What’s with this stupid zealotry to ban stuff?
That's bananas!!! Love the vids. Keep them coming girl.
Screaming just to walk on it, imagine the ones had to build it...🤣🤣
The history and story behind the Great Wall is honestly insane. Unfortunately im not a great storyteller otherwise I would’ve explained a bit of it!
The scenery is speechless, totally worth it but won't do it again. LOL
10/10 experience.
@@NayomiqueOfficial
10/10 illegal.
10/10 attention seeker
you guys are breaking that historical sites now..
Wow incredible
It's called climbing the Great Wall for a reason.
It is awesome that you can spend the night on the Great Wall! Thank you for sharing.
This is not a negative comment, but I'm just wondering how was the potty situation up there. I believe all the camper took great care of the trash and didn't leave anything behind. But just wanted to know if the tour guide made sure the potty situation was also well taken care of.
Thanks for sharing the camping experience. I'd like to see this to be better managed by the local authorities if they want this to be a good attraction, including:
1. safety measures
2. limited quota
3. certain fees to be used to maintain the camp sites.
4. licensing and training for the tour guides.
Because, remember, the more ppl climb and camp at the great wall, easier it can collapse and also more rescue forces needed to be put in place. Clearly I don't see those tour guides are trained or equipped for basic rescuing.
It has nothing to do with the local authorities, and camping on the Great Wall is absolutely not allowed, but because the wall is too long to manage, savvy guides take advantage of this management loophole to make money.
Campaign at the great wall it's illegal because it damages the wall that so many people deid to build(~ 1.000.000 people)
Amazing sunrise❤
it’s so beautiful and I definitely love your videos. Good job and keep going.
you know, as a local beijinger, I even didn't have this experience, the view is so beatifull. great job!
Cool hike - great scenes - love it ! : )
I hope the place still clean and doesn't smell
Please dont damage the heritage site and leave it alone.
It's a unique video for the adventurer types.... it probably will bring attention from the authorities to monitor visitors and to take some action to de escalate any camping on the great wall.
The sceneries were awesome.
Excellent video.
Love that background song too.
Yea who knows, wouldn’t be a bad idea if the gov set up some rules and protocols + work together with local travel agencies ☺️
The scenes are just gorgeous and mind-blowing. It is worth of taking that huge physical challenge! Amazing video. Thanks for sharing!
8:44 Not only do you see the sunrise and majestic mountains, you also see 2,500 years of history.
Five thousand years ago we faced floods like the ancient Egyptians; four thousand years ago we played with bronzes like the ancient Babylonians; three thousand years ago we thought about philosophy like the Greeks; two thousand years ago we went to war to expend our territory like the Romans; one Thousands of years ago, we were as rich as the Arabs; now we are competing with the Americans! For five thousand years, we have been on the world's poker table as always, but our opponents have changed several rounds.
Very nice. I love all your content on China.
Thanks so much! Stay tuned for all the upcoming vlogs. My goal is to upload 2 vlogs a month!
amazing, beautiful, what a experience!
Welcome to China❤
It's a beautiful view, and although it's a little difficult and not allowed, it looks like a fun activity.
love the video, but not sure if camping is allowed for regular tourists.
@@MM-nd1ldyes!
What a beautiful sunrise view from the Great Wall👍
This is a wild trail , which doesn’t need to buy the entrance ticket , it is very challenging for the physical limmit
It will be a tragic joke if irresponsible tourists in accomplice with nearby residents bring down the great wall when thousand of years Northern invaders failed. The authorities have to ban camping and overnight stay before it goes viral.
WOW, what an amazing trip with a lifetime of memories.
Wow soooo beautiful in the morning sun rise ❤❤
Few days ago, I watched a tourist camping in the great wall. His tour guide is a 50+ year old woman. She fetch him there and left the place. She told him that he must wake up by 5.00am the next morning and leave earlier as it's illegal. He slept inside the tower as there will be a "roof" above him. The difference between both the camping is that yours is very dangerous - the climbing and the sleeping place. I noticed that his climbing on the great wall is easier, not so steep. Not necessarily to use his hand while climbing.
I haven’t seen that video but I can imagine sleeping in popular areas of the Great Wall is not allowed. I think I was in Jiankou, lots of climbing with our hands 😂 I even fell once and almost slipped off the mountain hahaha but thank god someone helped me. It is definitely a bit dangerous.
They slept in Gu Bei Kou in the other video
我也看到那条视频,的确是违法的,无论从文物和环境保护还是从游客的人身安全来说都是不可取的,因为那几乎是无人区,没有什么配套设施,救援也会增加难度!
China is amazing good job bro
holly my god,you guys are so brave to conquer the most dangerous part of the great wall
Treasure that experience. You're one of the first and few.
hope no trash was left there, so beautiful
Guess travel insurance companies wouldn't cover this segment of trips. :)
This section of the Great Wall is not within the scenic area, so if an accident occurs, one must bear the responsibility themselves. Ordinary tourists should not try.
wow epic adventure
I got the same feeling while I was watching your clip: WTF! Camping? I wanna try once I got a chance!
No it's illegal
Great experience with rich history
I wouldn't get nikes for hiking, or anything for that matter, they break within a month
Omg so brave😮
Although it's a great video capturing what must have been an awesome experience, I have to succumb to the rare need to comment about this, especially having seen parkour tourists damaging the historic building in Italy the other day.
Obviously, there is a demand for camping experiences at one of the most historic ancient places in the world, the place you camped at has not been prepared as a camping facilities. I suppose the government should give it some thought about developing and building up facilities to suppose these non conventional attractions. Giving you guys the benefit of the doubt that you didn't damage anything to get to the "camping site", didn't leave any waste (human or otherwise), didn't bring home any "souvenirs", didn't leave any "I was here" marks, I somehow feel a sense of outrage at this particular activity. But I've seen plenty of vloggers doing some of the things I mentioned above.
There are comments saying defending these activities, citing the interest would result in the preservation and restoration of this ancient structure. How do you trace the flow of logic that starts with activities that degrade the artifact, to the preservation and restoration of it?!? And the government should allocate funding to restore what visitors break, ahead of the needs of people who are still impoverished ... no problem.
Also, if anything were to happen to you due to absence of safety structures or encounters with wildlife, there are going to be propagandistic news splashed all over MSM, "Travel Alert! tourists hurt at Great Wall of China!" It's like visiting a friend's house and insisting on climbing onto the roof, falling off the roof and then throwing your friend under the bus. Plus, whoever the government official in charge of that area, will have the dumb luck of bearing the brunt of the angst from the central government. You can call it "illegal legal" or anything you want; if there's any doubt whether this is legal or not, put the following government website through Google Translate and look up article 17. www.jingtai.gov.cn/zfxxgk/bmhxzxxgk/xzfzcbmzsjgml/xwtgdhlyj/fdzdgknr/lzyj/zcfg/art/2023/art_39e6145a646841f3b3a4f223d842a8b8.html
And yes, one can point the finger at the business being run by local tour guides. I'm sure there were plenty of locals who had spent nights camping on the Great Wall, probably guarding against invaders from the north.
I know my comments are harsh (this being my first negative comment)... but if any part is untrue, point it out, and I'll delete the offending part.
You made some good points. It would be great if the gov indeed would set up some rules and protocols just like some well known outdoor spots (e.g mount Everest base camp) so it’s still safe and protected but can also attract many tourists to visit the place. Who knows, maybe someone would watch my video 👀 and makes it happen 👏
@@NayomiqueOfficial Alright, I'll agree with you on this much. The ball's back on the government's court (pun intended) to develop this tourist demand. The way it works there in China, someone at the grassroot level needs escalate this up the chain of command to raise this to the government's attention for action, especially on a national level given that the wall spans so many provinces.
Searching back through youtube, I discovered this has been happening for years with one of the vlogs showing tents inside tower sections being supported by pins embedded in the walls of the tower. Hopefully the government gets on top of this problem/demand/opportunity asap.
Damnnn gurl you r crazyyy! But looks amazing, at least you can poo poo with a view 😂
Hahaha gyaaaal get ready for our vlog together 😂 I’ll come up with something crazy LOL
oh,yes
awesome
Looks awesome, what tour company was this that provided a guide?
M2adventure
It's Incredible! I never dream of climb CREAT WALL in this way, and with breathtaking scene!
Thanks I want to introduce China for those who have never been here and encourage them to visit haha ! 😊
不过长城的清晨太美了❤
Not for those how defend it... especially if that morning they were fighting the nomadic tribes of mongolia
Well-made video. Great view. A whole lot of fun. Fits right into the stereotype of privileged westerners who enjoy life in another country/culture with minimum respect (not zero), to the local history and the significance of things special to the locals. Of course the local guide is to take a big part of the blame of guiding you through.
An absolutely thump-down.
BTW, how did you guys manage the pees and poos? Brought them back with you to protect the environment? Surely not.
❤❤❤
so great
自私自利的一群人,不應該在長城露營!看看喜馬拉雅山的攀登者對山造成的傷害!?政府應加強執法取締!?
虽然确实是非常令人震撼的旅行,但我个人是认为不值得推荐的,这些未修复的城墙,充满着危险,如果越来越多人进行这样的活动,将会导致中国政府因为人员伤亡而禁止攀爬这些非开放的长城段,最好是少人数的当天来回,不要露营。
it is dangerous, and I wonder if that's legal to camp there, was it like a grey area activity? and why didnt China repair and maintain the entire Greatwall?
Think about it, ancient soldiers walked thousands of kilometers to move defenses. It's hot in summer and cold in winter. It's incredible.
自私自利的一群人,在千年古跡上吃喝拉撒睡,破壞環境不可原諒
10:10 我看到垃圾都已经装袋了,没看到哪里破坏了环境,此外,导游是中国人吧,如果非法最应该取缔的不应该是这种导游吗?
@@user-ne4iv1if6s 屎和厕纸能带走吗?导游就是钻空子而已,野长城太长了,没有人力管理而已,早些年当地人还扒上面的砖用呢,那也是中国人,是不是也合理了。
@@user-ne4iv1if6s because the tour guide is chinese doesn't mean that it is not illegal to climb on the wall
6:27 and that's totally illegal (the person that is climbing on the atch)
@@studenttzanetis4738 没有导游哪来的游客爬墙?动动脑子。
beijing in summer...oh man...the heat....😨😨😨
😃😃😃
Great view!!! But please protect the world's The Great Wall, if possible.
interesting,amazing
👍👍
I'm so happy for you, you made it, wow, even camped there, don't know if it's even allowed lol What a sunrise!
✨ Please don't do that again.....the unrestored sections are infested with deadly giant centipedes, scorpions, and poisonous snakes!!! It's a miracle you're still alive...😇
这是那个地方的长城 都没修复 你们这样上去好吗
这都是开放的,没事😊
@@zhongguofuxing No it's illegal !
😍😍😍
are you sure it's legal? cuz the place you camped seems not open for tourist.
As a person from Beijing, my reaction to this is 'just why? Why would people like to sleep in the freakin outside nowhere??'
camping on the great wall, and staked in the bricks?
Living on the unmanaged Great Wall is not a wise choice, in fact the government forbade it. In addition to the fear of damage to the Great Wall, the destruction of the environment, but also for the safety of tourists, there will be dangerous wild animals.
Beautiful but looks very tiring from just watching this, you all must be exhausted 😂
Fun fact: after the hiking trip I went straight to sanlitun for diner and drinks 😂😂
小心中暑 这么热的天 中暑倒地后都没人施救
Awsome experience! Is a shower available? Can you hire the local to carry 30 liter water for each person ?
Stop do that
WTF it’s a No Man’s Land……this is illegal…..
A shower? 😂 It’s not St. Regis Wall
i think there should be a licensed place for people to tent rather than stay on the heritage ,where people's is interest is on seeing the great wall surrounding and its natural scene
Please remember, Leave no Trash!
I am 99.99999% sure we didn’t. We made sure there was no trash left behind.
1000年后,长城可能将从地球消失,并且在2000年后金字塔也将不复存在。尽管人们有下意识的去保护,但是,我们的后代最终都会失去这些古老的建筑。
Hi Na...hope all things fine. Welcome (back) to China! Greetings from Suzhou.
I was in Suzhou today!
@@NayomiqueOfficial wow, so your vlog about Great Wall is quite new. I locate at Zhangjiagang, north side of Suzhou
@@donaldliu I was in Beijing like a month ago
This is amazing. How can I book a trip like this?
I’ve seen some local travel agencies organizing this, you can send me a message on Instagram/TikTok and can share you their contact
Looks amazing, but Please don't promote illegal camping and misguide your followers.
so dangerous😢
我想说这肯定是非法的只不过相关执法单位睁一只眼闭一只眼罢了,作为拍摄者我觉得你应该为导游和农户打下码避免有心者找麻烦。另外露营搭帐篷的地不应该在塔顶上,晚上风很大危险也睡不好,在下面塔里就很好
Love you💋💖
I like your video, but I'm wondering how much money did you guys pay for the tour?
I think it was around 800rmb
