- EBEvelyn· July 7th, 2025The guides were great, and the itinerary and overall organization were good. It was a bit tiring after arriving at a destination from Beijing to Hangzhou, to start right away with a hike.Show more
The Dragon Trip commented on this reviewWe're happy the guides were able to show you an amazing time and that you thought the itinerary was well organised. Thank you for the feedback regarding the pace of the trip and the transition between locations. We're always looking for ways to... Show moreTrip date: May 2025 - Emily· December 3rd, 2019I took their Beijing tour back a few years ago and loved it!! I still can't believe I saw so much of China in just 3 weeks! The hostels were actually really nice, and the experiences were incredible. Guides were all super friendly and had fun recommendations. When meals weren't provided, we'd get a group dinner together which was super fun. At times I was the most exhausted I've ever been, but the guides were super motivated and kept the energy up. I know people who have gone on more expensive tours of China and didn't get to do the cool stuff we did like camping on the great wall of china or training with shaolin warriors.Show moreThe Dragon Trip commented on this reviewThanks for such a great review, Emily!

Asked on July 19th, 2025I want to know the full package of 5 people coming for tour with visa assistance from you, maybe with visa invitation letter, I can arrange for other documents in Nigeria and submit to the Chinese embassy in Lagos Nigeria.
The Dragon TripOperator•Written July 2025If your clients require a visa to visit China, we can provide an Invitation Letter and the Detailed Itinerary to support their visa application. They will be responsible for their visa applications. The documents can be provided once they have sent us their passport details and paid the deposit.

Asked on June 9th, 20251. Accommodation Confirmations: How do I obtain the printed confirmations of accommodations booked through TourRadar? Since the first night is spent in a tent, how is the accommodation confirmation handled? Are we in a camping zone that provides such confirmations? Or does your company have special arrangements for this?
- D
Derek
Traveler•Written June 20252. Tent Arrangements: Who is responsible for bringing the tent; the traveler or the organizer? Is the rental of a tent included in the price of the trip? I do not own a tent and do not intend to buy one for a single use and for just one night.

Derek
Traveler•Written June 20253. Clothing Recommendations: I have read on various websites that between July and August, I can expect very hot temperatures. I was wondering if sleeveless shirts or short shorts (above the knee) are appropriate for a solo female traveller, or if you would recommend more modest clothing.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
For the camping, all equipment will be provided to you. You won't need to bring your own tent. This is included in the price of the trip.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
Sleeveless shirts and short shorts (above the knee) are appropriate for a solo female traveller. However, please bear in mind, that if you decide to visit any religious areas during the trip, you might be expected to cover up and wear more modest clothing.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
It appears that Swiss citizens can travel for up to 30 days visa free in China. You can read more about that by visiting the visaforchina website.

Traveler•Written April 2025for this tour do we fly into Beijing Capital or Baijing Daxing?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2025
The trip begins in Beijing on Day 1. The meeting time is confirmed closer to the departure date and your adventure leader will make you aware of this in the group chat you're invited to. You usually arrive at The Great Wall of China for around 14:00. It's entirely up to you which airport you'd prefer to fly into. We can organise airport transfers for an additional cost.

May I know how fit you and your wife with two little kids to hike and camp on the Great Wall? We want to find a good Great Wall section for you.

Danielle
Traveler•Written May 2024Both me and my wife are reasonably fit. We are used to trekking from time to time. Our children love to walk and adventure. The most important for us is just to make sure that the hike is safe for them while having the experience in sections of the wall that are more wild and not touristic.
