The Great Wall at Badaling

2 hours Admission included

The Great Wall of China-the greatest symbol of Chinese engineering and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Badaling Great Wall is one of the most important part of the Great Wall which was attached with great military importance. An old Chinese saying tells the crucial position of Badaling: if one man guards the pass, ten thousand cannot get through.

Your journey begins with a convenient hotel pick-up by either your guide or driver, heading straight to Badaling Great Wall—Beijing’s most iconic and well-preserved section, renowned for its grand ramparts, panoramic mountain views, and status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you opt for the driver-only package, your driver will handle all ticket arrangements and wait for you at the parking lot while you explore at your own pace; those with a guide will be led along the wall, learning fascinating stories of its 2,000-year history as a defensive masterpiece, with plenty of free time allocated for photos and personal exploration.
Juyongguan Great Wall

one hour Admission included

After exploring Badaling, we’ll stop at a local restaurant to savor authentic Chinese cuisine for lunch, refueling for the next part of your adventure.

Next, we’ll head to Juyongguan Great Wall, a section distinct from Badaling with its steep, winding paths nestled in lush mountain scenery, offering a more intimate and scenic hiking experience. As a strategic pass in ancient times, Juyongguan boasts unique architectural features that reflect its military significance.

Upon arrival, your driver will again assist with ticket arrangements and wait at the parking lot for those without a guide, while guides will continue to accompany you, illuminating the history and legends of this lesser-crowded gem.
Juyong Pass of Great Wall

one hour Admission included

After you’ve fully explored Juyongguan, we’ll take you back to your hotel, wrapping up a memorable day of exploring two iconic Great Wall sections with all essentials covered, allowing you to focus solely on enjoying the adventure.
