Special Note:
1. Badaling Great Wall
The Badaling Great Wall is the well preserved Ming Dynasty Great Wall with original appearance. Now it is divided into two sections - east and west starting at the Badaling Pass and Gate. Most people prefer to climb the east section where the highest watch tower is located.
Some tourists don't choose the Badaling Great Wall. They think Badaling Great Wall is too touristy! "Touristy" is now a bad word for any tour destination. But why is it too touristy? It is "too touristy" because Badaling Great Wall is one of the most gorgeous of all the sections of the Great Wall around Beijing.
Given your limited travel time on Badaling Great Wall, you may take a cable car to the Wall and walk down. Cable car is available and optional ( pay on your own).
2. Juyongguan Pass Great Wall
The Juyongguan Pass Great Wall is sectioned into two semicircles - east and west. Most people prefer hiking on its west semicircle for its steepness and beautiful view. Each semicircle takes about 2-hour hike. We arrange a comfortable hotel located below the Juyongguan Great Wall. It is a star-rated courtyard hotel, offering a good view of the Great Wall.
No cable at Juyongguan Great Wall.
3. Huanghuacheng Great Wall
Huanghuacheng Great Wall is one of the most ruined sections of the Wall around Beijing. Now it is a quite challenge to climb the wall since it is wild, overgrown, and unrestored. Actually this section of the Wall is not officially open to the public.
There are two starting points to hike or see Huanghuacheng Great Wall - Huanghuacheng Reservoir and Jintang Lake which both cut through the Wall. The reservoir is called Huanghuacheng Reservoir with some parts of the Huanghuacheng Great Wall submerged under it, hence the nickname of Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall for this section. You will be arranged to walk around the reservoir to see the submerged great wall.
Fuwang Farmhouse where you stay is just located below Huanghuacheng Great Wall at Jintang Lake. No Cable car at Huanghuacheng.
4. Mutianyu Great Wall
Mutianyu Great Wall has an extremely beautiful natural landscape once you are up on the wall, green, densely wooded. This section of the Great Wall is comparatively smoother than most of other sections.
There are 23 towers on the Mutianyu Great Wall snaking the ridge for about 3000 meters. The watch towers at the Mutianyu Great Wall are distributed at short intervals. The 23 watch towers are numbered from right to left ( from east to west). The 23rd tower is highest point of the Mutianyu Great Wall.
