The Chinese Proverb "Never been to The Great Wall, Not a Great Person"

Felt like I'm on TOP of The World. The vast ever-going Great Wall makes one wonders how they built it in those days.
I was on a small group tour and we went to Jinshanling which is the 3rd furthest from Beijing. It is well worth the drive.
Scenery is spectacular, and there were hardly any other people. At one point, I had The Wall to myself, in that I couldn't hear or see anyone else. It is really incredible!
There is some small hassle from postcard vendors. Bring water and a snack; you'll need the energy. Some is sold at the towers along the way.

There are old sections and restored parts. Go left. Some of the climbing is challenging as the walls (and stairs) run up and down steep slopes into the distance, which makes for amazing photos!
Allow at least three hours for walking. Take a moment to just relax and enjoy the countryside. Nice cable car ride too. Lucky for us, the weather was sunny and made for a perfect day.
Jinshanling Great Wall Hiking brings you to adventure the most famous and important parts of the Wall. Practice your hiking skills and make sure to always be careful in your every step. Capture different scenes which can never be seen in another section of the Wall, only in Jinshanling. Great Wall in Jinshanling is also offers relatively peaceful atmosphere, less crowded and real nature. You only can meet some hikers when you come to the section. At the end of the hiking tour, take you to the Chinese restaurant to have lunch. After lunch, transfer you back to the downtown hotel in Beijing.

Dashilan street was a commercial center of Beijing more than five hundred and eighty years ago. The name Dashilan comes from the large gates built at either end of the street during the Qing Dynasty to prevent street crime at night and as

a safeguard against riots by the local Han people against the Qing. The fences built here were quite peculiar and kept for a long time.In 1900, the entire street was burnt to the ground during the Boxer uprising before it prospered again with the returning merchants.

Dashilan is situated on south of Tiananmen Square, west of Qianmen Dajie, where many century-old shops and Restaurant stand. You can buy some traditional handcrafts as well. Note that bargaining is always needed. Now its old shops and small stalls are still preferred by Beijingers.

Have Ever Visit Badachu Park in Beijing

As a national AAAA Tourist Area, Badachu Park is located in the south foothills of well-known Beijing Xishan (Western Hills) Scenic Area. As one of the top-priority municipal protected cultural relic sites in Beijing since the founding of the P.R.China, Badachu Park has been a garden-based Buddhist temple, which is endowed with time-honored history, everlasting reputation and pleasant natural landscape. Badachu Park is surrounded by Cuiwei Hill (the remaining chain of

Western Hills), Pingpo Hill and Lushi Hill. These three hills are shaped like a chair. Eight ancient temples spread over these three hills, forming a famous natural sight of Twelve Landscapes. Badachu Park is world-renowned due to the tooth relic (the sacred sharira of Sakyamuni Buddha) preserved in two Lingguang Temples. The oldest temple in these eight ancient temples is Bachu Zhengguo Temple, its construction lasting from the late Sui Dynasty to the Early Tang Dynasty. Much further construction lasted through the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The largest temple is Xiangjie Temple-a temporary imperial palace for Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong on their brief stays.

The JianKou Great Wall in Beijing

The JianKou Great Wall is regarded by some people as the most picturesque section of the Great Wall and is a good example of the 'Wild Great Wall'. The main section of the JianKou Great Wall is built along a mountain ridge with steep cliffs on each side. Therefore, climbing the wall here needs a certain level of fitness and great care. It is located in the mountain ridge of Xizhazi Village, Huairou County in Beijing.

The Jiankou Great Wall was an important section of the wall in the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644). Owing to the need for renovation, the wall is regarded as one of the most dangerous sections of the Ming wall. It connects to the Mutianyu Great Wall in the east and joins the Huanghuacheng Great Wall in the west. From east to north, the wall zigzags 9.3 miles from 'The Ox Horn Edge Wall' to 'The Nine-Eye Tower' via 'The Beijing Knot'. Compared with the Mutianyu Great Wall, the mountain is higher and steeper, while compared with the Simatai Great Wall, it is more winding and varied. It was built from local material - dolomite. The large pieces of white rock make the wall striking to the eye at a distance.
There are many famous sections of the Jiankou Great Wall, such as 'The Nine-Eye Tower', an important command post during the ancient wars. It has three layers, and there are nine holes which look like nine eyes on each side. 'The Beijing Knot' is the meeting point for three walls coming from different directions. 'The Sky Stair', is a precipitous stair whose angle of elevation is 70 to 80 degrees. It leads to 'The Eagle Flies Facing Upward', a watch tower built on the lofty peaks. It is so dangerous that even eagles have to fly facing upward to reach the top. 'Zhengbei Tower' is the right place to appreciate the beauty of sunrise and sunset.
Some sections of the wall are seriously damaged, so you must watch your step. It is better to go in a group. The local dish of rainbow trout is very famous. Pheasant dish is also a good choice. Near the wall, the 'Zhao's Hostel' is a nice place to spend the night.
