After 2 hours drive we will arrive at the village,after a short break we will hike up to the wall in 10 minutes .Then we will have about 3 hours on the wall untill the sunset.As the sun begins its descent towards the jagged horizon, the Great Wall undergoes a breathtaking metamorphosis. The harsh, grey stone of the day softens, bathed in a warm, incandescent glow. It starts subtly – a gentle gilding of the highest parapets and watchtowers. Then, like molten gold spilling across the land, the light intensifies, washing over the serpentine ridges and plunging valleys the Wall so defiantly traverses. Then we go back to the village for dinner and then we go up to the wall again to set the tents .

See the sunrise.As the first pale light creeps into the eastern sky, the ancient stones of the Great Wall emerge from the deep blue shadows, a sinuous silhouette etched across the mountain ridges. Slowly, the horizon ignites – streaks of molten orange and soft pink bleed upwards. Suddenly, the sun's fiery rim breaches the distant peaks, exploding in a burst of blinding gold. Long shadows stretch dramatically across the weathered battlements as the warm light floods the valleys, bathing the endless, undulating wall in a radiant glow. Mist swirls in the ravines below. Standing atop this stone dragon, bathed in the dawn's pure light, one feels the profound silence and whispers of history, witnessing a truly breathtaking testament to both nature and humankind. After that we pack our stuffs and go back to the village for a simple breakfast, and then goback to the city area.
