First time to Badaling Great Wall. Walked along the north side route to the 12th floor. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom and the scenery is excellent. Because it is the rest time of Qingming Festival, there are many tourists and occasionally stop, but the rhythm is very good when resting. It was great to have lunch with you at a scenic spot on the way. I was very happy to be able to experience the wonderful world heritage firsthand. Although we bought tickets with the APP, we were foreigners so needed to change to paper tickets so this job took a long time.
Undoubted attractions, China 5A scenic spots, how to shoot are beautiful. It is recommended that people who do not often exercise should take the cable car/cableway up. Not everyone can climb, especially the elderly. Some places are very steep and slippery. I see many people slipping and falling. But the cable car price is very expensive, one-way 100, two-way 140
The night Great Wall and the like under the lights of the Great Wall, which are not good people, show us the beauty of different dragons. It avoids the poor experience caused by crowding. Folk customs and other activities are also worth watching. The lighting atmosphere at the entrance and exit is also very suitable.
On the afternoon of January 15, 2024, it took 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete the round-trip of the 12 floors of the North Great Wall. The scenery is good. There are several buildings that are steep. The sun is a bit cold when it is fast down the mountain. The focus is on being close to the Badaling High-speed Railway Station. You can walk there.
The Badaling Great Wall is located at the north exit of the ancient road of Jundushanguangou in Yanqing District, Beijing. It is an important part of the Great Wall of ancient China's great defense project and is an pass of the Great Wall of Ming. The Badaling Great Wall is an important outpost of Juyongguan. It is anciently said that "Juyong's risk is not at the gate but at Badaling." Young people can climb from Beiyi to Beiba, and can't experience the feeling of being a non-good man in the Great Wall. Old people or inconvenient legs can take the ropeway directly to the North Eight, climb for a while to the highest point of the Great Wall, wheelchairs can be stored at the cableway entrance. Pay attention to the time when the cableway goes down the mountain, and the cableway is the last bus at around 4 pm. Beijiu and above roads are getting more and more difficult to walk, if you have good physical strength, you can challenge it. The scenery is more magnificent and suitable for taking pictures. It is a pity that life does not come once. Basically, you can see all the north eight, because it is close to the highest point.
