Great Wall
 

Description

China's Great Wall stretches east-west for more than 5000 kilometers. Its origins can be traced to the 7th Century BCE, when independent kingdoms constructed separate walls to keep out marauding nomads. China's first emperor linked many of these during the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BCE). It was renovated several times in later centuries. Built along the rolling ridges of steep mountains, it offers spectacular, even awe-inspiring views, and is surely one of humankind's greatest architectural achievements. The Great Wall is best enjoyed in sections, some of the more popualr visiting sites include Badaling , Mutianyu , Simatai and Huanghuacheng . Badaling is by far the most visited section and each has its own charms. At any given section of the wall, be prepared to wear sturdy shoes and dress for inclimate weather.

The best tour guide in Beijing Mr. John Ping
By ,
I've been using John Ping regularly since 2008 when he had just started off a year or so ago. I travel to Beijing 2-3 times a year on work and whenever I get the chance to do some sightseeing (especially with my colleagues from Canad/US would) I always use John's services. I would strongly recommend Mutianyu for the Great Wall tours instead by public transfer,

The Best Season for Visit Great Wall
By ,
Did you know we offer a number of exciting 'extend your stay' travel offers for business travelers on the road in China? So why not tag along a little cultural aside during your trip? Find out more about some of the best China has to offer below.Autumn in China is by far the best time to be here. The temperatures throughout the country are milder without the extremes you can experience in winter and summer, and without the wet you'll experience in the spring. While the days are getting shorter, you can have warmish daytime weather right into November in the north and central parts of China and in the south, you'll find it can still be quite warm. If you're coming to China to see the fall foliage then the best thing you can do is head out of the big cities and into nature. While it's understandably hard to imagine natural scenery when you're sitting in a Beijing traffic jam, only one and half hour outside the city is the Great Wall, a fantastic place to see fall colors. Famous places for viewing beautiful fall scenery include the Great Wall . I would like to be your private car driver and driving you to visit the fantastic Great Wall of China. Mutianyu Great Wall ................... Jinshanling Great Wall ............... Or we can tailor-made tour for you . Want to know more tour schedule please searching for : bestbeijingtours Or just give me a call at: ( +86 ) 150-110-44538 (24 H) (+86 ) 1860 190 6978

Must See In Person

Photos have not been kind to the Great Wall. Seeing The Great Wall in person is another experience.

It was an unforgetable trip!
By ,
It is said that Badaling is the most famous wall of The Great Wall.I went there two years ago with my family.It was so hot that I felt tired after a short walking.I know it is a historical cultural relic in China.I'was very happy to see it and it's an unforgetable trip in my memories.

AMAZING!
By ,
The most amazing view, the most amazing structure, and the most amazing feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment when you finally make it. I'll admit it was a good workout and my legs were basically shaking by the end, but I would do it again without a doubt. I'm going to be cliche here and say it was a once in a lifetime experience and I'll never forget it. Mmm there was one downfall...the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting.

Awesome landmark
By ,
For our third trip to China we chose to go to the Great Wall at Mutianyu instead of Badaling. It was SO much better. We hired a car and driver for the day (1050 yuan for up to 7 passengers - a bargain) and enjoyed a peaceful drive through gorgeous countryside on the way there as well as a delightful lunch at a local restaurant ($4 each for a five course meal) on the return trip. (Even went past the Olympic venues on the way for pictures and stopped for two hours at the new art center, 798, on the way back.) The wall is easily accessed by cable car, and there were no crowds. Getting pictures with no people in them was relatively easy, even at midday. I highly recommend Mutianyu!

Incredible
By ,
Incredible! Badaling has a cable car that can take you to a higher part of the wall with amazing views and it is only about 50 miles outside of Beijing. Be prepared for crowds and physical exertion though. Wow, was it a work out!
