There are a number of different sections of the Great Wall that you can get to from Beijing. Some are way more crowded and touristy than others, but luckily the portion I hiked was pretty empty. I only did an out-and-back four-hour hike, but was tempted to keep going as I looked ahead and watched the wall snake through the mountains. The Wall must have sucked to build, but it sure is awesome to hike.
Man, I can't believe I saw that when I was five years old...it's aged well!
