Climb the Badaling Great Wall
in the afternoon
With its majestic, steep and beautiful scenery, the Badaling Great Wall is considered the essence of the Ming Great Wall. This afternoon admission ticket lets you enter directly with your passport at the Guancheng ticket gate.
Badaling Pass and the North and South Walls

Badaling Pass is trapezoidal, narrow in the east and wide in the west. The east gate is inscribed "Juyongwai Town" and the west gate "North Gate Lock Key". The North Great Wall extending from the pass has 12 watchtowers, and the South Great Wall has 7. The South Wall is less crowded, so if you have time, start there.
The highest watchtower: North 8th Tower

The North 8th Tower is the highest watchtower at Badaling, also known as the "Sun Viewing Platform". More than 1,500 m from the pass, it is a great spot to overlook the wall.
Cable cars and nearby attractions

Cable cars run near the South 4th and North 8th Towers for those who prefer not to walk (extra charge). After coming down, rest or eat at the commercial street and visit the nearby Zhan Tianyou Memorial Hall and China Great Wall Museum.
