Very impressive and well restored - not very busy

One of the quieter tourist centres to see the Great Wall of China. Other areas are busier. This one has an option to hike up and take the rope way down. Be prepared for elevation. Bring lots of water and prepare for extremely hot sun!! Also better to hire a day cab for the whole day as it is hard to find cabs to go there, they charge double as they can’t find passengers to return.

Must have seen place when you visit Beijing. It’s around 1,5 hours away by car. If you come early in the morning there are only a few people. The wall can be all yours. Avoid the summer with high temperatures. Steps could be exhausting if the temperature is high. At least take enough water with you! Hiking in this area must be exciting. I definitely will visit this place again.

Clean, great place of the wall to visit. Lots of views and plenty of wall to walk. Highly recommend for the history and to see truly how large it is
