It is said that "If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero." It’s rare to get a trip to Beijing. When I think of the black cars and black tour guides in the news reports, I’m afraid. It makes me feel a little afraid and panic about the Great Wall. So I checked various strategies by myself and spent a day helping everyone experience it for myself. The whole process of traveling on the Great Wall, to help tourist novice popularize nanny-level tutorials.

Go directly to the topic and bring you the strongest dry goods! !

1. Introduction to the Great Wall

All kinds of introductions collected on the Internet are all unnecessary. What I tell everyone is the key points.

First of all, the Badaling Great Wall is the Great Wall that we traditionally say "If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero".

Secondly, the Badaling Great Wall is divided into the south line and the north line. The south line is relatively gentle, while the north line is more steep. From the entrance, the south first floor is on the left, the north first floor is on the right, and go straight down. There are eight floors going south, and twelve floors going north, for a total of 20 floors. The buildings here are beacon towers. Some beacon towers have roofs, some have no roofs, and some are just open-air platforms. The north eighth floor is Haohanpo. It is the highest point with the widest view. From the cable car entrance to the north seventh floor, you only need to climb the first floor to get to Haohanpo. This is a must-see point~ that means there are the most people here~ The north 12th floor is the last floor but not the highest. There is also a stele of heroes at the check-in point, which is a stone tablet engraved with "If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero". There are several in the scenic area, one as soon as you enter the gate, one on the fourth floor of the north, and both on the second and second floors of the south, like the fourth floor on the south Also, there are also outside the scenic area, just take a picture when you encounter it, just take a group photo as a souvenir. It is also worth mentioning that the Dream Great Wall dome theater has a 360-degree all-round view, synchronous dynamic seats and 3D viewing effects. It is a wonderful epic about the Great Wall, from the rise and construction of the Great Wall to ancient times. The wars experienced by the Great Wall, the beautiful scenery of the four seasons inside and outside the Great Wall, and finally the bold fantasy about the Great Wall of Space, are fun and beautiful, and you can learn more stories about the Great Wall, which is very suitable for parents and children.

3. Traffic routes

According to the online search strategy, there are various ways to go to the Badaling Great Wall, and I have summarized 5 ways for everyone to choose

1. S2 Line: Intercity Railway Line 2, S means suburban. This train is not a passenger train in our traditional sense. It is similar to a subway, with free seats for all trains and no designated seats. If there are too many people, there will be no seats. It is also not possible to buy tickets on 12306, similar to the subway, it is said to be more complicated.

2. Bus No. 919: It is divided into 919 and 919 Express. It is not a direct bus. I am afraid that it will be confusing, and it will be troublesome if there are stops in the middle.

3. Bus No. 877: Take the subway to get out of Jishuitan, and you need to walk for more than 10 minutes to reach the Deshengmen bus station. There are a lot of people, the queue is long and chaotic, and it is not the same as the bus.

4. Direct taxi: about 200 yuan. Or one-way, the price is more expensive, not worth it.

5. Great Wall through train: the cost is about 80 yuan, you can book it on various travel apps, and there are many, all of which are qualified and formal travel agencies. More at ease.

4. Tour route

There are seven tour routes for you to choose from.

(1) Take the cableway north to the seventh floor to go up and down.

This route is the one with the most choices, the busiest and most crowded.

(2) Go up and down on the fourth floor of Cable South.

This route is the one with the fewest choices, and it is especially niche. There is no trouble of crowding, and it also gets rid of the embarrassment of taking a group photo on the Great Wall. There are few people and it is clean.

(3) Take the pulley to go up and down the north fourth floor. You can also climb down to the North Seventh Cable Car or go down to the South Fourth Cable Car.

This route is mostly a choice with children. Experience the slowness of the pulley.

(4) Take the cableway to go up to the seventh floor on the north and go down to the ground cable on the south fourth floor or take the cableway to go up to the fourth floor on the south floor and take the cableway to go down to the seventh floor

The advantage of this route is that you can climb all the way without going back, and the route is basically close to complete.

(5) Climb from the north first floor to the north twelve exit.

It does not involve the south line, and you can go to Haohanpo without regrets. After passing the north eighth floor, there is no turning back. You need to stick to the north twelve. The section from the north 8th floor to the north 12th floor is very steep, it is not recommended for the elderly and children to climb

(6) Climb from the first floor of the north to the eighth floor of the north, return to the original road and continue to climb to the sixth floor of the south and then return

One of the most complete routes, the bad thing is that if you go back, you will have aesthetic fatigue and lack of physical strength

(7) Climb from the first floor of the south to the sixth floor of the south, return to the original road and continue to climb the eighth floor or the 12th floor of the north

It is also one of the most complete routes. If you go back, the advantage of this route is that you can take care of both the north and the south.

Cableway/Ground cable (can be used universally, see the picture): round trip 140 one way 100 pulley: round trip 120 one way 100

The first four lines are sightseeing tools, cableways, cable cars or pulleys, and the last three are pure climbing lines (you can choose a one-way return at an appropriate location: North 7th floor (cableway), North 4th floor (pullway), South 4th floor (ground cable) )). The fourth route is my most recommended. I also went through it myself. The advantage is that I don’t have to go back. It is the best and most economical route.

5. Catering

You can bring your own dry food, because the price of scenic spots is relatively expensive.

You can consider ordering things (discounts) at KFC, Subway, Mr. Li or Food Street on the pedestrian street, which will be cheaper than on the mountain.

There is also the Badaling Restaurant in the scenic area, which is exquisitely decorated and elegant. It is said that it has the taste and price of home-cooked food, and the price is very high. I did not try it.


6. Matters needing attention

1. Prepare health treasure and itinerary code, go through the security check, arrive at the gate of the scenic spot, and swipe your ID card to enter

2. Pay attention to weather changes. Climbing the Great Wall is very tiring. Keep warm. The temperature on the Great Wall will be lower than that in the urban area, and the wind will be strong. You can wear a hat to prevent the wind, otherwise your hair will keep blowing. Put on sunscreen, wear sunglasses, and you can bring sun protection clothing.

3. Bring your own water, the price of scenic spots will be more expensive, and it will be more expensive on the Great Wall, so you must bring water to climb the Great Wall.

4. Wear clothes and shoes suitable for sports. Anti-slip is very important. Some parts of the Great Wall have relatively steep slopes.

5. Scenic spots can provide free luggage storage

6. If you bring children or parents, it is recommended to take the whole cable car or ground cable or slide, so that you will not be too tired. If you have good physical strength, you can choose two one-way trips. But the price will be more expensive than the round trip.


Well, this is the whole strategy of the Badaling Great Wall. Finally, I wish you all a perfect trip to the Great Wall~
