Badaling Great Wall Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Badaling Great Wall in Yanqing, Beijing, is a pass for the Ming Great Wall. As the saying goes, "You are not a hero until you reach the Great Wall." Most locals consider this spot the start of the ascent of the Great Wall. The Badaling Great Wall is the most complete section among the various great walls in Beijing. The total length of this section is 7.5 miles (12 kilometers) with 43 watchtowers; however, only 2.3 miles (3.74 kilometers) and 19 watchtowers have been restored and opened to visitors. Compared with other sections, most stairs are not very steep and equipped with handrails, so it is a relatively easier climb.

Badaling Great Wall Photos: Trip Moments
5 Things to Know Before Going to Beijing5 Things to Know Before Going to Beijing I look forward to winter in Beijing the most, walking through the hutongs with a smoky aroma, eating candied haws and watching people come and go in the hutongs. 1️⃣Transportation tips: Direct flight from Shanghai to Beijing, 300 yuan. Beijing has Beijing Capital Airport and Daxing Airport. The Capital Airport is closer to the city, recommended. You can reach the city area by 3 subway stations. 2️⃣Accommodation tips: I like Xicheng District, which has a very old Beijing feel. There are many quadrangles here. I live in a hutong on Yan Dai Xie Street, the feeling of an old courtyard, and I can chat with the old men when I go out in the morning. 250 yuan per night. 3️⃣Tour tips: Tiananmen, Forbidden City, Jingshan Park, Yan Dai Xie Street, Nanluoguxiang, Bird's Nest, Water Cube, Badaling Great Wall. This route is very suitable for friends who are visiting Beijing for the first time. Tiananmen and the Forbidden City are together, and you need to queue up to enter. The Forbidden City ticket is 40 yuan. Jingshan Park is a hillside park overlooking the panoramic view of the Forbidden City, with a good view, recommended. The ticket is 2 yuan. Yan Dai Xie Street and Nanluoguxiang are both centuries-old historical districts. Many famous hutongs are here, where celebrities gather and there are many snacks and delicacies. The Bird's Nest and Water Cube, take subway line 8, get off at the Olympic Sports Center, the ticket is 78 yuan. The Badaling Great Wall, the ticket starts at 35 yuan, the Great Wall is in the suburbs, and it takes a day to visit. 4️⃣Food tips: Recommend Baozang Roast Duck Restaurant, Liu's Restaurant, it's crispy and can be dipped in white sugar. About 200 yuan for one, and there are many Beijing special dishes. Qixun Baizhao Hutong Cuisine, Beijing cuisine in the old hutong, retro style, recommended almond tofu. Average 100 yuan per person. Huguo Temple Snacks, a must-visit halal snack shop in Beijing, with baked buns, pea yellow, donkey rolls, etc. Average 20 yuan per person. 5️⃣S2 train tips: The S2 train is a beautiful sightseeing train route, and it is also the most cost-effective transportation from the city to the Great Wall. The starting station is Huangtudian Station to Yanqing Station, passing through Nankou Station and Badaling Station. The round trip to the Great Wall is 14 yuan.diplomatical_leona58
The Great Wall of Badaling: A Mark of History, A Treasure of HumanityOn the vast land of our motherland, the Great Wall of Badaling is like a giant dragon, winding on the continuous mountains, witnessing the vicissitudes and glory of history. As a tourist, I stepped on this magnificent ancient city wall with full of awe and curiosity, trying to explore the story and meaning behind it. I chose to go to the Great Wall of Badaling by Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed rail on a clear morning in winter. When the train slowly left Beijing North Station, the scenery outside the window gradually became vast and broad. Soon, I arrived at the Great Wall of Badaling Station. The platform is about 1.8 kilometers away from the scenic area. You can choose to walk or take a free shuttle bus to the entrance of the scenic area. I chose to walk, wanting to feel the atmosphere of this ancient place more authentically. Entering the scenic area, the first thing that caught my eye was the tall and solid enemy towers. They are distributed on the ridge in a staggered manner, as if showing the grandeur and craftsmanship of ancient engineering. I walked along the city wall and felt the heaviness and solemnity of history. Every stone, every brick seam, tells the vicissitudes and changes of the years. The majesty and danger of the Great Wall of Badaling reminded me of ancient wars and frontier scenery. This was an important channel of the ancient Silk Road and a battleground for the military. Standing on the Great Wall, I seemed to feel the hardship and tenacity of the ancients when they built this great project. They used their hands and wisdom to create this world-class miracle, which is admired and admired by later generations. I stayed on the Great Wall for nearly three hours. Although the cold wind was biting, the excitement and emotion in my heart made me forget the cold. I marvel at the magnificence of nature and the depth of history, and I am also moved by those who silently contribute to the protection of the Great Wall. When I left, my heart was full of respect and emotion. This unforgettable journey gave me a deeper understanding and experience of the Great Wall of Badaling. The Great Wall of Badaling is a memory of history and a treasure of human civilization. It teaches us to cherish history, respect culture, and draw strength and wisdom from it. As a Chinese, I am proud to have such a great historical relic, and I hope more people can come here to feel the charm and power of history.EpicOdysseys1233
Autumn in BadalingThe autumn wind is bleak, and it takes half an hour to get to Badaling from Qinghe Railway Station early in the morning. After a short rest and breakfast, we started to visit the scenic area. Climbing up, I feel relaxed and happy, and my mind travels thousands of miles. I admire the greatness of the ancients. They left valuable wealth for future generations. The mountains are overlapping, and the red leaves are flying. All kinds of troubles disappear like smoke in thin air. It took about 3 hours to finish climbing, and I didn't take the cable car, but walked back. In the afternoon, I strolled around and bought some Yanqing apples, which are produced in Zhangjiaying, Yanqing. It is said that they taste good, they are geographical indication products, let the children taste them.Owen Wellington18

Winter Visit to Badaling Great Wall 🇨🇳 ❄️#timetotravel 🗓️ January 19, 2023 🇨🇳 ❄️ A trip to China wouldn't be complete without seeing the Badaling Great Wall, even in winter. During my vacation, my friends and I braved the cold, but the freezing temperatures led us to modify our plans. We settled for photos from the first level. The views were breathtaking, starting from the bus ride to Badaling. 🚌 Getting There: We took a public bus from downtown, which was both cost-effective and convenient. 😔 Though we didn't complete the full climb, the Great Wall's grandeur left a lasting impression. I plan to return under better weather conditions for the full experience. #chinatravel #badaling #bucketlistHi Terii37
Beijing like you never know it beforeWhen it comes to Beijing, some would think overpopulation and pollution. I saw the magnificent Great Wall with pride and beautiful park packed with laughters, rich in culture and history. There are so many different variety of foods to enjoy each meal and I was spoil choices between on great meal with another equally delicious meal. It is a must visit for me and I am already looking forward to coming back to his city again.James Willing30

Great Wall at BadalingWhen: August 2019 No doubt that this is the number one destination when you heading to China. Take the cable car till the top and start walking. Be prepared for a huge crowd of people. This is the main place where tourist start their exploration of The Great Wall. I was so excited that it seemed to me that we were waking only an hour but actually we were walking for more than 5 hours. Start your journey very early and don’t forget to buy the tickets in advance otherwise you will miss your chance. #greatwallMoonlover71

THE GREAT WALL of 🇨🇳Can you truly say you’ve been to China if you have not been to The Great Wall? You: “I just came back from China” Friend or Stranger: “Oh yeah, how was it? Did you see The Great Wall?” You: “Oh, no but there is more to China than The Great Wall you know?” Friend or Stranger: “Ah, so you didn’t go then. I see” Don’t be that person folks‼️(By the way, the above ⬆️ scenario is all in good fun) I know my friends would ask if I crossed The Great Wall of China off the bucket list if I had it on the list in the first place. Anyway, if being on your bucket list isn’t enough reason for you to see this world-renowned landmark, go for the journey via cable cars so you can see surrounding forest. Add to the fact that you’re literally standing on a prolific work of art that stretches on for miles and miles. I went to the Badaling section which I was told is a popular section of the wall. July was when I went and luckily it was raining on the way but it cleared up enough for us to patrol the steps up and down. When you go, just be sure to stop and take it all in, really be in the moment. For if you go and all you did was take a couple pictures, it won’t be worth it. It should be one of your most memorable experiences. ☺️ Follow on IG for more pics @Crimson21_ (Don’t forget that underscore) #mytripvlog #visitbeijing#tripblazers #summervacation #celebratewithtrip #thegreatwall #2023travelwishCrimson2189

The Great Wall of ChinaOne of the most iconic landmarks in China is undoubtedly the Great Wall which is situated in Beijing. The wall is easy to access from the city and we hired a driver with the journey time taking about 2 hours each way. My biggest recommendation would be to go early (we left at 5am) as this is the best way to avoid the bigger crowds and allows some quality time on the wall. There are food stalls near the entrance of the wall and a slide down on one section! #china #mountainview #urbanexplorer #greatwallMarty O’Brien38

Backpacking by train to Badaling!Address - Badaling Wall, Beijing Ambiance/Facilities - North wall part, mediocre, south part, great! Highlights - taking a funicular Avg. Price per Person - around 140rmb/person Rating - 4/5 stars So here’s the thing, I understand I’m in a foreign country but I would have thought in one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world there would be clearer advice on seeing the wall. The train is a cheap and efficient way to go from Beijing to see the wall. The train arrives deep underground at Badaling, just that was an ear popping experience! We paid 500rmb for the 3 of us to go up the north (?) section in a cable car and honestly it was not great or worth the money. There were sooo many people, it was awful! You could not get a sense of the wall. People elbowed you and pushed you. It was rough. And yet, if you walked less than a kilometer down the road you could ride an awesome funicular to the south (?) point for 420rmb and this wall part was empty and beautiful! No one tells you this, I think the north part is higher but honestly the wall parts are very similar, when empty - spectacular! Make the right choice…go the path less travelled and enjoy your Badaling wall experience. #badaling *see photos of both parts4Ward15
Great Walk of China!We visited the Badaling section of the Great Wall, and weee not disappointed. Although there were some steep uphills to walk, we enjoyed the experience. The sun was out but it was not overly hot and despite being extremely crowded, there was no pushing and everyone was respectful and patient. We paid 175 RMB each for the entry ticket as well as a round trip on the cable cars, which I would totally recommend. Good views and fast! Overall we spent maybe 90 minutes walking up and then back down. Getting to Badaling Great Wall was not a hassle at all, as we opted to take a speed train from Beijing North to Badaling. It was about 30 minutes long and only 20RMB.Jasmin943
EASIEST ROUTE TO BADALING GREAT WALLWith kids one always try to avoid long journeys as kids not get bored and cranky. So if you are looking for an easiest way to approach the Great Wall Badaling (section) from any downtown location. i would suggest to book a taxi and reach Qinghe Station for gaotie( fast train).You can book train ticket in wechat app. We reached the station through taxi. Then took train and it took only 20 minutes to reach badaling train station. Just outside the station are ticket booths where you can buy tickets for Cable car to reach the wall , just meters away from station. it was easy and exciting journey. kids were happy. We had enough time to see the site and go back to downtown easily.Egalitarian38

It's truly awe-inspiring to contemplate the level of architectural ingenuity required to construct such a marvel at such a height. I strongly recommend that everyone take the opportunity to witness the historic
We accessed the vicinity of the wall via train and cable car. The wall itself is a testament to centuries of hard work, artistry, and stunning beauty.
BadalingGreatWall is easy to visit by taking the high-speed rail which reach directly at that station. Around 20mins ride. The cable car ticket can be purchased on the spot once u are out of the station, n it will take u to Tower 8 which is the high peak of BadalingGreatWall. Slowly walk to Tower 12 which is the last tower. Railings at the side until tower 11 only. Pls hold the railings as the ground is slippery. There r foodcourt/subway but walk 30min there once finish hike n walk down.
Definitely worth going. One star for service, the cable car south 4th floor, want to go down to the North Great Wall, do not know where to go, no road signs and no volunteers, finally see an uncle who sorted out the self-service vending machine, ask the uncle answer: I have not worked hard to take care of your things, I have not finished my own things. Finally, I asked other tourists.
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.
