Beijing Badaling Great Wall Tours |
The best-preserved and most imposing section of the Great Wall is at Badaling. In
Chinese, 'Bada' means 'giving access to every direction'. The name itself suggests
its strategic importance. This section is made of large blue bricks. The road on the
wall is wide enough to allow ten soldiers to march side by side along the wall. The
highest point here is more than 731 meters (2,400 feet) above sea level.
The Badaling Great Wall is the most popular section, not only because of its close
proximity to Beijing, but also because of the fantastic and scenery. The walk usually
takes about 3.5 - 4hrs (depending on how many photos you shoot). If you are afraid
of the long way to the top, you can take the 10-minute cable car which will take
you most of the way to the top. The view is rewarding. The wall follows the contour
of mountains that rise on behind the other until they finally fade and merge with
distant haze. The Great Wall here has good tourist facilities, including handrails,
a cable car and even a toboggan for a quick descent. Visiting the Badaling Section
of the Great Wall in winter is an amazing experience. Due to the handrails located
throughout this section, a visit in winter is safe.
