<p align="center"><strong>See the Real Wall</strong></p>
 Don’t feel like following the millions of package tourists to the official tourism sections of the Great Wall, that come fully equipped with souvenir shops, cable cars, slides and car parks the size of a football stadium, all built around a newly “renovated” section of the wall?

Let LTL show you the Wild Wall.<a href="http://ltlcdn1.ltl.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Wall-Small.jpg" rel="gallery"><img class="alignright" title="Wall Small" src="http://ltlcdn1.ltl.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Wall-Small.jpg" alt="great wall trip2" width="150" height="200" /></a>

We will take you to the remote Xi Shui valley, where the wall is just like it has been for hundreds of years, crumbling on the top of steep and inaccessible mountains, surrounded by forest and wilderness.

Instead of tourist restaurants we eat and stay in the little farming villages around it with plenty of opportunities to use your language and explorer skills.
