You Could Spend a Night on the Great Wall

Originally built thousands of years ago as a border, the Great Wall has become a hugely popular attraction that brings people from all over the world together. Airbnb partnered with the Beijing Tourism Development Committee to give a few lucky people the chance to do something no one else has—spend the night on the Great Wall. All you have to do to enter to win is “describe why it is more important now than ever to break down barriers between cultures, and how you would build new connections through this experience.” If you do win, you get to spend the night in a centuries-old tower with picturesque 360-degree views, along with an intimate gourmet dinner, Chinese music experience, a sunrise hike, Chinese calligraphy class and the opportunity to make your own customized stamp. In addition to the exclusive morning and evening experiences, you’ll also get round trip airfare, Airbnb and meal accommodations from 9/3 – 9/9, and even have the fee covered for a China Tourist visa. If you win, the only thing they’re not picking up the tab for are airport transfers at home and personal expenses.
