Badaling Great Wall

10
4.7/5
63.4k reviews
The Badaling Great Wall is renowned as one of the Nine Strategic Passes under heaven, combining majestic cliffs with picturesque greenery to form the most spectacular section of the Ming Dynasty fortifications. Living up to the Chinese saying "He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true hero," this remains the premier choice for most Chinese visitors to experience the Wall. The fortress gate exhibits a trapezoidal shape, narrower on the east and wider on the west, featuring two gate towers. The eastern arch bears the inscription "Juyong Waizhen" (Frontier Town of Juyong), while the western gate displays "Beimen Suoyue" (Key to the Northern Gate). North of the fortress stretches the 12-tower Northern Wall section, while to the south lies the less crowded Southern Wall with 7 watchtowers. If time permits, we recommend exploring the Southern Wall first before tackling the more popular Northern section. ▲Walk Through Six Centuries of Golden History: A Visual Feast of Vermilion Foliage Blanketing the Great Wall ▲ As night descends, the Badaling Great Wall transforms into a gilded dragon winding through shadowed peaks, its illuminated battlements whispering tales of millennia - where imperial splendor meets enduring mystery beneath constellations of golden light. ▲Cloaked in winter's crystalline mantle, the Badaling Great Wall becomes a silver serpent coiled between snow-draped peaks, its ancient stones gilded by dawn's golden raysBeijing · 43.3km from Huailai

Guanting Reservoir is located in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province and Yanqing County, Beijing. It is the first large-scale reservoir built after the founding of New China. The main water flow of Guanting Reservoir is the Yongding River in Huailai, Hebei Province, which has played a huge role in flood control, irrigation and power generation. . Guanting Reservoir used to be one of Beijing's main water sources. In the late 1980s, the water in the reservoir area was seriously polluted, and the water quality continued to deteriorate in the 1990s. In 1997, the reservoir was forced to withdraw from the urban drinking water system. Gardens have been built along the Guanting Reservoir, which is a scenic spot near Beijing. Guanting Lake is connected to many surrounding tourist attractions. It is only more than 70 kilometers away from Beijing Deshengmen in the south, 7 kilometers away from the famous Badaling of the Great Wall at home and abroad, and 8 kilometers away from Longqing Gorge in Yanqing in the east. Guanting Reservoir is comparable in size to Miyun Reservoir. It is sandwiched between two mountains. The water quality is good and the water surface is open. On the south bank side, there are steep rocky shores and delicate sandy beaches. In addition, various fruits with high sugar content are abundant on the nearby sandy land, as well as convenient transportation. For Beijingers, it is really a good place for leisure and vacation around.Huailai · 18.9km from downtown

The Forbidden City, also known as the Imperial Palace, was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is also the symbol of ancient China. When you are in the majestic and orderly high walls and deep courtyards, you can truly feel its former glory. ▲The long history has left behind large-scale precious buildings and countless cultural relics, which have also become the main attraction of visiting the Forbidden City today. ▲Classic attractions: The Forbidden City Corner Tower is a polygonal building with a convex plane on all four sides. It is located in Dongcheng District, Beijing. The roof has three layers. The upper layer is a hip roof with vertical and horizontal intersections. It is composed of a gable roof with flowing water on two slopes and a hip roof with four slopes. Because there are nine main ridges on this roof, it is called the Nine-ridge Hall. ▲Sundials are divided into two types according to their installation principle: equatorial and horizontal. The sundial installed using the equatorial principle is called an equatorial sundial. The key points of its production are that it must have a time plate, a latitude arc and a gnomon. When operating, the time plate must be parallel to the equatorial plane of the earth, the gnomon must be in the same direction as the earth's axis, and the shadow cast by the gnomon on the gnomon is the desired time. ▲The Treasure House is located in the Ningshou Palace area. It has a rich collection of treasures, including Buddhist supplies, ornaments, daily utensils, and treasures for appreciation. Among them, the red coral lion about 14 cm high, the Dongzhu court beads about 130 cm long, and the gold "Fengtianzhibao" seal are all rare treasures. ▲The Clock and Watch Museum is located in the Fengxian Hall in the palace. Most of the clocks on display are British products, but there are also clocks from other countries such as France and Switzerland. In addition to the timing function, these clocks are decorated with figures, birds, beasts, flowers, etc., which can also make various different movements. They are very delicately made. Among them, the copper-plated gilded writing clock, the copper-plated gilded enamel gourd-top fishing and woodcutting farming clock, and the copper-plated gilded rotating flower running man rhinoceros carrying clock are very rare.Beijing · 92.9km from Huailai

In recent years, especially since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the museum has intensified its efforts to collect representative material evidence reflecting contemporary advanced culture, openly soliciting artifact collections from society, acquiring an average of about 50 ancient artifact items (sets) and over 1,000 modern and contemporary artifacts, physical objects, and artworks (sets) each year. Museum exhibitions include three major series: permanent exhibitions, thematic exhibitions, and temporary exhibitions, forming a three-dimensional exhibition system that encompasses themed exhibitions, permanent exhibitions, thematic exhibitions, and temporary exhibitions.

A wonderful tourist attraction with a rich historical background. The local authorities have shown awareness and implemented measures to preserve it, but there are still many areas for improvement. Hopefully, it will continue to improve. The guide I found at the entrance was fantastic; she was very knowledgeable and had a great attitude. Highly recommended!

Climbing up 400 meters took about two hours, and the descent was fifty minutes. It was a bit tiring, but the scenery was decent. It would have been even better on a clear day without smog. Some of the temples were built later. There's water for sale on the mountain for five yuan.

The North Line cableway is temporarily closed; you'll need to take a cable car to the South Line. It's spectacular, and the cable car makes climbing the Great Wall much easier for elderly people—it's a very quick way to get there. The South Line is generally flat, making it very suitable for the elderly and children.

I have been here many times. Both adults and children like it. The water quality is good, the service is good, there are not too many people, and the indoor and outdoor areas are very good. The children like to play in the children's playground. We stayed in the clubhouse. The environment is clean and comfortable. We will try to come again at the end of August. [Scenery] Very good [Cost-effective] Relatively high

The scholar said that Guide Li took me to visit the National Museum of China and the Forbidden City! Finally, my dream of visiting the capital came true, and I was filled with excitement and pride. The National Museum is a treasure trove of national treasures, carrying a thousand years of cultural heritage; the Forbidden City's red walls and yellow tiles showcase the splendor of a prosperous era. Guide Li's explanations were humorous and insightful, not just reading from a script, with a relaxed and considerate pace. He answered every question, making this trip to the capital truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Service: 3 stars. I bought the U-Pass pass, but when I entered one attraction, I thought it was the U-Pass lane, but it was actually a regular lane. They didn't give me any directions; I only realized I was in the wrong place after asking the person behind me. Secondly, at the Cybertronian Knights restaurant, when ordering, I don't know if it was to save costs or what, but when I went to pick up my food, I asked for a disposable glove, but they said the other tray they gave me was... Their attitude was particularly bad, even though the view was quite nice. I have to say...
