- Attractions Introduction -

． Badaling Great Wall

The Badaling section of the Great Wall, located closer to downtown Beijing, is a popular pilgrimage site for visiting heads of state. It's also the first section of the Great Wall to open, boasting the most comprehensive facilities, including hotels, cafes, and camel rides. It also attracts the most visitors. For those with limited stamina or those not suited to exercise, you can take the cable car or walk the entire length of the wall.

．Mutianyu Great Wall

Popular with backpackers, Mutianyu Great Wall, despite its remote location, is a great choice for those looking to avoid the crowds! Not only does it offer stunning scenery, it's also been consistently voted the "most attractive section of the Great Wall" by netizens! A historical structure dating back to the Ming Dynasty, it's remarkably well-preserved. In recent years, its popularity has skyrocketed thanks to the film "If You Are the One."

．Simatai Great Wall

The Simatai Great Wall boasts five unique characteristics: dangerous, dense, unique, ingenious, and complete. While its rugged terrain makes access difficult, the scenery is said to be the best of the three Great Walls. Because it hasn't undergone extensive renovations, it retains a more pristine historical feel than the other two. China has designated this section of the Great Wall as a "National Scenic Spot."

The Badaling Great Wall, located at the northern entrance of the Guangou Ancient Road at Jundu Mountain in Yanqing District, Beijing, China, is a vital component of the Great Wall, a magnificent ancient defensive project, and a strategic pass along the Ming Dynasty Great Wall. It boasts both beautiful and precipitous scenery. Ancient Chinese thought evoked the saying, "The most dangerous part of Juyong Pass lies not in the pass but in Badaling," and it was nicknamed the "Jade Pass Natural Moat." It was listed as one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Juyong Pass during the Ming Dynasty.

The Simatai Great Wall, built over 400 years ago, still retains its original Ming Dynasty appearance. Built along a steep mountain ridge, the wall's ruggedness makes it incredibly precipitous, resulting in a diverse range of wall styles. Every autumn, the vibrant colors of the leaves here attract numerous visitors. Standing on the ancient Great Wall and gazing at the crimson leaves blanketing the mountain is a truly breathtaking sight.

The three major sections of the Great Wall in Beijing are Badaling, Mutianyu and Simatai, each with its own unique characteristics and varying levels of climbing difficulty.

As the saying goes, "He who hasn't climbed the Great Wall is not a true man." The Great Wall is a symbol of the labor and wisdom of the Chinese nation. Visitors are welcome to come and challenge it.
