Eight lucky travellers would be would be offered a special chance to spend the night on top of the Great Wall of China next month thanks to an exclusive service of Airbnb.
This renowned accommodation provider claims that its temporary accommodation would be perched atop a watchtower and with 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape.
It would represent the first time in thousands of years that ordinary visitors have been allowed to sleep on the ancient fortification.
This pop-up room is part of a campaign to promote preservation attempts at the Great Wall. It features a four-poster double bed but then it is open to natural elements and is ideal for breathtaking mountain views during the day and stargazing at night.
This candle-lit space that sleeps two also has modern lamps and floor lighting and also a cozy lounge area with a sofa and dining table.
Guests will be able to enjoy gourmet food and traditional Chinese music before bed, while a guided sunrise hike through the countryside and a tour of the Great Wall with historians will also be offered.
But then there is a catch since Airbnb is encouraging people to enjoy this kind of a once-in-a-lifetime by participating in an online competition.
They would be required to answer a simple question stating their opinion about how crucial they think breaking inter-cultural barriers to build new connections. Four winners and their guests would be flown to China from anywhere in the world and would have to complete their stay between September 4 and 8, other terms and conditions apply.
Considered one of history’s greatest feats of engineering, the Great Wall is a series of fortifications that stretches from Shanhaiguan, on the Bohai Sea, to Lop Lake in the Gobi Desert.
