Badaling Great Wall - Bird's Nest &Water Cube - Prince Gong's Mansion -Shichahai
A must-visit during a trip to Beijing is the Badaling Great Wall (tour duration: 2 hours). The Badaling Great Wall is the highest point of the Great Wall in the Beijing area, offering the most magnificent views of the wall. As a crucial outpost of Juyong Pass, it was historically known as “the danger of Juyong lies not in the pass but in Badaling.” The mountain range is steep, the terrain is treacherous, and the walls stretch majestically northward and southward amidst towering peaks, with no visible end. The high level of architectural craftsmanship and enduring artistic value exemplified by this ancient structure vividly demonstrate the wisdom and strength of the ancient Chinese laborers. (Due to the higher elevation of the Badaling Great Wall, climbing to the summit and then proceeding to the wall can be quite strenuous. Consider opting for a round-trip bus tour of the Great Wall – 140 RMB/person, payable separately.)
