Great Wall of China pictures

Beijing Travel Guide

An hour or so out of the city, Badalang is the normal target for a half day trip [70km/ 45 miles NW of the city]
to see the Great Wall, offering a snapshot of the Chinese countryside as well as an educational visit to the
Great Wall Museum. However, Badalang is unfortunately a destination for zillions of Chinese tourists too,
so if you have more time and prefer a spectacular and less peopled view of the wall head for Mutianyu,
take the cable car halfway up and start walking. Travellers with even more time and need
for solitude could target beautiful Simatai or Jinshanling sections.
