China Beijing Badaling Great Wall

The Badaling Great Wall is known as one of the nine most formidable fortresses in the world. Its scenery combines the magnificent and precipitous with the beautiful and verdant, and it is the essence of the scenery of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall.”No true man is brave who has not climbed the Great Wall,” and many Chinese people regard this as the main option for climbing the Great Wall.

The Badaling Great Wall Pass is trapezoidal in shape, narrowing from east to west, with two gates:The eastern gate is inscribed with the words “Juyong Outer Town” and the western gate with “Key to the Northern Gate”.The section of the Great Wall that extends north from the pass is the Northern Great Wall, with 12 watchtowers.To the south of the Pass City is the Southern Great Wall, with 7 watchtowers.The South Great Wall has fewer tourists than the North Great Wall. If you have enough time, you can go to the South Great Wall first, and then go to the North Great Wall.

In addition to the entrance at the Pass of the Closed City, there are also entrances on the 4th floor of the South Building, the 4th floor of the North Building, the 8th floor of the North Building and the 11th floor of the North Building, all of which lead to the Great Wall.

Among them, the 8th floor of the north building is the watchtower with the highest altitude on the Badaling section of the Great Wall, also known as the “Sunrise Terrace”.It is more than 1,500 meters from the pass town and is a great place to overlook the Great Wall.

Take the cable car

There are also cable cars on the 4th floor of the South Building and the 8th floor of the North Building.Tourists who don’t want to walk can take the cable car directly to the enemy building, and take the cable car back after the tour is over.This saves energy and makes for a relaxing visit.

Surrounding dining

The Badaling Great Wall Scenic Area is equipped with a commercial pedestrian street. If you are tired after climbing the Great Wall, you can rest and eat here after going down the mountain.In addition to the high-end and atmospheric Badaling Hotel (foreign-related hotel), there are also restaurants with old Beijing flavors such as Zha Jiang Mian, Goubuli, and Dumpling House, as well as fast food such as Subway and Yonghe Soy Milk, which you can choose according to your needs.After you’ve eaten and drunk your fill, if you still have energy, you might as well take a stroll around the nearby Zhan Tianyou Memorial Hall and the China Great Wall Museum.
