Sightseeing

Badaling Great Wall

Beijing · China

Badaling Great Wall is the most visited and best-restored section of China's Great Wall, located 70 km northwest of Beijing and receiving over 10 million visitors annually. Built to its current form during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and standing 6-9 meters high, the wall at Badaling follows the ridgelines of the Jundu Mountains in a series of dramatic zigzagging towers. Despite the crowds, the sight of the wall disappearing over the mountain peaks in both directions remains deeply impressive.
