Activity itinerary

Yanqing Badaling Incomplete Great Wall
  • 2h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Discover the Badaling Ancient Great Wall, a lesser-known but deeply authentic section of the world-famous Great Wall of China. Unlike the restored tourist areas, this part remains mostly untouched, preserving the original stonework and wild mountain setting. With fewer crowds and minimal commercial development, it offers a raw, rugged atmosphere ideal for those seeking a deeper connection with history and nature. The Badaling Ancient Wall feels primitive and adventurous, making it a favorite among hikers, photographers, and history lovers. Surrounded by dramatic peaks and quiet trails, visitors can experience the Wall much as it was centuries ago — weathered, majestic, and powerful. This section is perfect for travelers who value authenticity over convenience, and who wish to explore one of China’s greatest wonders without distraction. For a true hiking experience off the beaten path, the Badaling Ancient Great Wall is a rare and unforgettable destination.
The Great Wall at Badaling
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
The Badaling Great Wall is the most famous and best-preserved section of the Great Wall of China, recognized both nationally and internationally as a symbol of China’s enduring strength and heritage. As the first part of the Wall opened to tourists and a UNESCO World Heritage site, it holds deep historical and cultural significance. Badaling has welcomed millions of visitors, including world leaders, making it the most visited section of the Wall. Its sturdy stone walls, wide walking paths, and restored watchtowers offer an impressive glimpse into ancient military engineering. With easy access, modern facilities, and breathtaking mountain scenery, it’s ideal for travelers of all ages. Compared to more rugged sections like Jinshanling, Badaling is more developed and accessible, making it especially popular among local and first-time international visitors. A journey to Badaling is not just a sightseeing trip — it’s an encounter with one of the greatest achievements in human history.
