Beijing Juyongguan Great Wall  Tours

Juyong Pass is regarded as one of the three greatest passes of Great Wall. The wall
we can see today was built in the early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), and has been
restored. The valley where Juyong Pass lies is steep and precipitous, giving Juyong
Pass the reputation of being the most steep and dangerous pass of the Great Wall.

Juyong Pass and Badaling, not far away from each other, were vital gateways in the
northwest region of Beijing. If you dread visiting the crowded Badaling Great Wall but
hesitant to tackle the difficult trek from Simatai to Jinshanling, the much less visited, then
the easily accessible Juyongguan Great Wall might be the perfect choice. Visiting the
Juyongguan Great Wall, you will take a short but vigorous walk that loops along the
mountains on either side of the pass. One of the best times to visit the Great Wall is
in winter. Juyongguan is a great place to visit the Great Wall in winter. It is safe, as the
wall here has been reconstructed and is in good condition. This section of the Great Wall
has been equipped with handrails to help people ascend and descend on the somewhat
slippery and steep stone walkway.
