The Great Wall of China is one of those world icons we all recognize, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal or the Manuelita monument in Pehuajo. So famous that thousands of people visit it every day, and if you have not yet been in China, you may have no idea what that means.
A tourist spot in this country can be as tiring and frustrating as you can imagine. Chinese tourist groups fill up every free space, the guides scream by megaphone and everyone seems to be plotting to push you and stand right in front of you at the moment you were about to take a picture. If you are also planning to visit Great Wall Tour China, below information can help you:
We recommend going to Badaling if you cannot take the full day that Front Jiankou requires.
When you arrive you will see from an entrance, two roads are partying away. To the right are all groups and people who do not mind being among them. Surprisingly, if you take the left path there are a lot fewer people. Keep walking and you will see how people are staying on the road until you reach the tower where you cannot continue. The vast majority of tourists are locals, especially retirees and families. These are enough to reach, walk a few meters and take some photos. Those who follow to the end arrive exhausted as if they had completed the Iron Man. Great Wall tour allows tourists to explore the best part of the wall with best services.
How to reach there:
The bus 877 leaves from Deshengmen Arrow Tower take you straight to Badaling CNY 12. The most convenient way to reach Deshengmen Arrow Tower is taking the Metro Line 2. Pasha station Jishuitan and out the Exit A. They are about 500 meters walk to the bus station, where you will see the long line waiting for the bus 877.
COST OF ENTRY
The general admission price is CNY 45 (USD 7), but if you have a student card or something like it, you will pay only CNY 25 (USD 4).
FRONT JIANKOU
It was hard for you to get here, but here you are. This is the meeting you wanted to have with The Great Wall of China! You wanted to see it winding through the mountains, lost in the horizon, hear the noise of the wind and shout! The puja that is worth living! Leave it to the tourists in Badaling, enjoy it only as you dreamed when you started to plan your trip to China.
HOW TO GET
From where you're staying you have to reach Dongzhimen Bus Station, one of the largest central city traffic. There are many buses that take you there and a Metro station on lines 2 and 13.
Once in Dongzhimen, look for the line to take the bus 916, which costs CNY 12. In about 1 hour you'll get to the station Huairou Beidajie.
When you get off at Huairou Beidajie comes the most annoying part of the whole tour: take the Vanpool.
It is important to let it clear that you want to go to Front Jiankou because if you are not going to want to take Mutianyu, another section much more touristy. From where you took the van it's about 30 minutes to Front Jiankou.
