Day 1

   Meet at Nan Jie, Depart Beijing at 2:30 ( please arrive at least 10 minutes earlier)
  Early Evening Arrive at HuanghuaCheng ( Yello Flower Great wall), walk around, stretch your legs.  Relax until dinner or walk 30 minutes to the Great Wall for Sunset.

  Late Evening After dinner we will take a short walk (work off that dinner and beer) up to one of the Watchtowers on the Great Wall.  Bring only what you need to hike the next morning.  Bags can be left at the base of the mountain.
