This was a review going back to 2019 as part of a cruise and stay package.
This part of the wall is superb but don’t have anything to compare it with. It is a long way from Beijing though and during golden week traffic is pretty crazy.

The Great Wall at Badaling is a great place to visit if you are looking for more organized trip to the Great Wall. It is a bit touristy especially with a KFC, Subway and Starbucks on site. We went on the South section and there are very steep sections to climb. Wear good footwear.

Great place to visit the Great Wall. We went up the right side to the top. Be ready for uneven steps and to do some exercise. Once in a lifetime, and worth it.

Book ahead during holidays for train tickets because they sell out quick. The walk is mostly upwords to both West and East parts but is connected by lifts. Excellent views over the hills in either direction of the wall. Bring warm clothing because its colder in the afternoon.

Na dinastia Han (147-87 a.C), houveram grandes reformas nas muralhas,o que possibilitou a expansão e a exploração de novas terra para cultivo. O que isso representou??

Добрый день.Могу сказать примерно утром туда шел в 9.20 и мы ехали на 12,22, был обратно помню только 16.44 и на 21.15 что ли. Если не критично, чуть позже скину.

I actually used the train to get there... use normal MTR from wherever you’re from then locate a train that goes to Badaling... usually one every hour so check the timings right so that You don’t stay at the train station waiting for the train for a long time. Don’t take a tour or private hire, it’s expensive for no reason
Hello im planning to visit the wall tomorrow and i stay at crown plaza hotel
I have 9hours to back to my hotel

We had a good experience with Beijing Layover Tours, and we saw the Great Wall & Central Beijing. Depending your available time you can customize to see whatever you want. Our tour guide Herbie Ho was excellent (he is at TourBeijingWithHerbie).
万里の長城の男坂（南入口）ロープウェイは運行していますか？

私達が行ったときは、一帯一路のシンポジウムが開催されていて、男坂は世界各国からいらした要人のために一般人は入ることができませんでしたので、ロープウェイの運航は確認できませんでした。ガイドさんの話では要人がいらしたときには男坂が閉鎖になることはあるそうですので、必ずしも男坂に登れるとは限りませんので、ご注意下さい。
