In September 2008 58 of us cycled the above route to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. It was a fantastic experience and I have a DVD copy chronicling the twelve days we spent in China with various photos. We saw some main tourist attractions but it was the unexpected sights along the way which delighted us. However nothing compared with the contact we made with the Chinese. We stayed in hotels in Beijing and Xian but felt more at home when we camped with locals who lived in primitive houses and caves for seven fascinating nights.

Rough Guide says that the walls have not been restored completely, well they have and very impressive. Hire a bike to cycle all the way around when you climb up onto the top. It takes about 40 mins if you are a reasonable cyclist. Bumpy at times but very much worth it!
