Itinerary
Day 1 · Please choose 1 attraction option from category A
-
2 hours Admission included
A1. Juyongguan Great Wall (55KM)
Juyongguan Great Wall is the number one pass in China. It is located in the 18 km long Guangou valley where the Jundu Mountain and Yan Mountain meet, which makes it the only route from Mongolia to Beijing in the old days. From the parking lot, it takes only 2 minutes to get on the actual Wall. It is more suitable for people who could not or don’t want to spend too much energy or time on reaching the actual Great Wall. Nowadays, It is much less crowded than the famous Badaling and Mutianyu Great Wall.
-
2 hours Admission included
A2. Badaling Great Wall (80KM)
Badaling Great Wall is the first section of Great Wall opened to public in 1957, and the most visited section of the Great Wall of China. Badaling was first built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) to occupy a commanding and strategic position for protecting the Juyongguan Great Wall, Ming Tombs and the city of Beijing. It is a beautiful section of the Great Wall, but very crowded during holidays and Summer.
-
2 hours Admission included
A3. Mutianyu Great Wall (85KM)
Mutianyu Great Wall is a beautiful section of the Wall in Huairou district of Beijing. It was built and restored in the early Ming Dynasty, on the remnants of a Wall originally built in the Qi Dynasty (550-577). It used to be much less touristy and crowded than Badaling 10 years ago. Nowadays, with increasing popularity with domestic and foreign tourists, it is almost the same crowded as Badaling. It takes almost 2-3 hours to take the chairlift up and another 1-2 hours to get on the toboggan. Plus, there is another long line for the shuttle bus up and down. Avoid going there on holidays, busy season and Mondays, or start very early.

Huanghuacheng Great Wall is a section of the Wall built through a lake, beautiful and peaceful place especially between Apr.-Oct. with boats available to take. Different from the main tourist sections of the Great Wall at Mutianyu and Badaling, normally there are only a handful of tourists.
