Great Wall - Catch a Glimpse of the Ancient Fortification

China’s majestic engineering triumph and a must-see spot, the Great Wall squirms randomly from its interspersed Manchurian remains at Liaoning province to wind-denuded ruins in the Gobi desert and faded traces in the merciless Xinjiang sands. The most well-known examples however, surge majestically over the peaks of Beijing municipality, but the Great Wall can be practically visited in countless north China provinces. It is assumed mistakenly that the Wall is one nonstop entity; in fact, the edifice remains in chunks intermingled with natural defenses like precipitous mountains that don’t have any need for additional bastions.

Enjoy the impressive Badaling section of the Great Wall

The mere mention of Badaling Great Wall sends a chill down the spine of even the strong-spirited Wall walkers, but it’s the easiest part in the Great Wall Tour to reach, you can also reach by train! If you aren’t pushed for time, go to highest point. You’ll have to endure huge crowds, countless souvenir hawkers and a Wall that was totally renovated in the ‘80s thereby lacking a sense of historical genuineness. Badaling is extremely photogenic, but has good facilities for day-trippers like disabled access, restaurants, cable cars. Catch a remarkable guided full-day trip from Beijing. You’ll go to the Badaling section of the Wall, the best-preserved branches of this gigantic structure, and travel around the Chang Ling Tomb, the principal one among the excavated Ming Tombs. Head to the Longdi Jade carving factory. Chinese lunch and round-trip hotel transportation are included, with expert commentary from an English-speaking guide all through your Beijing tour of Great Wall.

Ancient engineering wonder with a strategic value

The 3km-long segment of Wall at Mutianyu is renowned for its admirable views and guard towers of Ming-era. It’s in Huairou County, northeast of Beijing. It’s a restored Ming dynasty structure that was built upon a former Northern Qi dynasty construction. Having 26 watchtowers, the section is impressive. Mutianyu is quite easy to reach from Beijing. It’s also good for families, as it offers a cable car, a chairlift and a trendy toboggan ride. Fewer tour groups come to Mutianyu than visit Badaling since the climb is challenging. An 8-hour Beijing sightseeing tour to the Mutianyu provides an occasion to experience steeper parts of the Wall. The Mutianyu section is popular among the Great Wall of China tours as it offers a different experience compared to the Badaling section. This segment offers a chance to climb over 1,400 steps right to the top.
