As Chinas most famous attraction, the Great Wall of China is an essential stop on all China tours. Commonly considered a wonder of the world, the Great Wall boasts a history of over 2,000 years and stretches more than 3,000 miles across several provinces of northern China, making it one of the most impressive ancient structures on the planet.
Today, this section of wall is open to visitors. A nice place with Beauty. There are three methods of ascent and four methods of descent to choose from. Besides utilizing 4000+ steps, visitors may also choose between a two-rider chairlift or four-rider gondola lift up from the foothills to the level of the wall, which runs along the ridges above. It is a very nice place These lifts may also be used to descend. Another feature of the wall at Mutianyu is an alternate method of descent by single-rider personal wheeled toboggan. This allows single riders to descend from the wall to the valley on a winding metal track.
In terms of landscape, it is one of the most beautiful places Ive ever seen, recommended to go there with a tourist guide or in a day trip tour because thats the only way you can do the hiking from the higher point of the Great Wall, otherwise you start from the main entrance, crowded, full of tourists and the view is not that great
The Great Wall is one of the seven wonders of the world. It runs in sections over a very long distance across China.The wall is also referred to as ‘Long Wall’ as it is over 21,196 km/13,171 miles long. It was built with stones, bricks and tiles, earth as well as of wooden material. The wall was completed in 1644, but it took more than 2,000 years to build.There are more than 20,000 watchtowers along the wall as it was built to protect the country against invasions from nomads and enemies and to make it easier to collect duty for goods that were transported along the Silk Road.Today the wall is the most popular tourist attraction in China with more than 10 million visitors per year. Contrary to popular belief the Great Wall cannot be seen from the moon!
The Great Wall of China, a global tourist hotspot, is known across the world for its uniqueness, great length, and historical value. It is also considered to be one of the seven wonders of the world. The Great Wall of China is associated with thousands of years of Chinese history.A series of walls were initially built by Chinese empires and states over a period of many years, beginning as early as the 7th century BCE. Over 20 dynasties/states contributed to the building of the wall. These walls were then joined together to result in the Great Wall of China. It was not just a wall but a kind of fortification with watchtowers, beacon towers, trenches, etc., built at intervals as protection from enemy forces. The official length of the Great Wall of China is 21,196.18 km (13,170.7 mi). However, nearly one-third of the Great Wall has disappeared over time. UNESCO inscribed the site as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.
If in Beijing MUST MUST MUST visit the visit the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of ChinaIt’s astounding to stand on this wall and look out at the vast distance that it covers, realizing that what you can see is only a tiny portion.To think that it was built with only manpower in almost unbelievable.Everything from the elaborate entrance, the lift ride up to the top and the slide down was amazing, and that wasn’t even the pinnacle of the site. Sitting in the lift and looking around at the scenery really magnified the feat that it was to build the wall.Walking up the stairway and out onto the walkway of the wall is unforgettable and something pictures don’t do justice.
Great Wall of China, Chinese (Pinyin) Wanli Changcheng or (Wade-Giles romanization) Wan-li Ch’ang-ch’eng (“10,000-Li Long Wall”), extensive bulwark erected in ancient China, one of the largest building-construction projects ever undertaken. The Great Wall actually consists of numerous walls—many of them parallel to each other—built over some two millennia across northern China and southern Mongolia. The most extensive and best-preserved version of the wall dates from the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) and runs for some 5,500 miles (8,850 km) east to west from Mount Hu near Dandong, southeastern Liaoning province, to Jiayu Pass west of Jiuquan, northwestern Gansu province. This wall often traces the crestlines of hills and mountains as it snakes across the Chinese countryside, and about one-fourth of its length consists solely of natural barriers such as rivers and mountain ridges. Nearly all of the rest (about 70 percent of the total length) is actual constructed wall, with the small remaining stretches constituting ditches or moats. Although lengthy sections of the wall are now in ruins or have disappeared completely, it is still one of the more remarkable structures on Earth. The Great Wall was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.
We visited the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China in October of 2018. Everything from the elaborate entrance, the lift ride up to the top and the slide down was amazing, and that wasn’t even the pinnacle of the site. Sitting in the lift and looking around at the scenery really magnified the feat that it was to build the wall.Walking up the stairway and out onto the walkway of the wall is unforgettable and something pictures don’t do justice.There is a little shop at the top where we stopped and had a beer to toast our trip, with breathtaking 360° views. We could have spent days exploring.It’s astounding to stand on this wall and look out at the vast distance that it covers, realizing that what you can see is only a tiny portion.To think that it was built with only manpower in almost unbelievable.Be careful as there are very steep portions and it is very easy to slip.
Great wall of China!What a beautiful and longest wall in the world, only the one creature of mankind that can be see in the space. When you go through the place you must think how much people and how much blood they taken to build this ...Mao once said that the person who didnt visit great wall who do not consider as a human
The Great Wall of China, the largest man-made project in the world, is a series of ancient fortifications built in northern China. Although named the wall, it is an integrated defense system including not only lofty and solid walls, but also massive signal towers, barriers, barracks, garrison stations, and fortresses along the walls, together forming an insurmountable line, for thousands of years, to protect the territories of ancient Chinese states against the nomadic tribes from the northern steppe. This long wall, just like a gigantic dragon, winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching approximately 21,196 kilometers from west to east of China.
Must have seen place if you are in Beijing! Bring enough time.. and water. 😉 Be there as early as possible in the morning and the wall is yours. Do not underestimate the steps to climb. By chance I will certainly hike the next time to get more impressions of the nature and to see more parts of the old Great Wall. If you go there in the summer beware of the sun.
Great wall of china! Massive, stunning, and Unique.One of the most breathtaking places to visit before you die.
Had a great experience! We stayed in Chaoyang district. We used subway to reach half of the distance and used a taxi for the rest. It took around 100 yuans for the taxi. No one speaks English there so it was very hard to talk to people. You better get a translator app if you are traveling without a chauffeur or a guide.
An amazing MUST SEE!We had an amazing time here, went up with the cable cars and going down with the tobogan was such fun! Highly suggest it!This can easily be a half day trip! We only visited on a layover but would have loved to spend more time here and explore more of the wall hiking a bit further.
The history of the Great Wall of China began when fortifications built by various states during the Spring and Autumn (771–476 BC)[1]nd Warring States periods (475–221 BC) were connected by the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, to protect his newly founded Qin dynasty (221–206 BC) against incursions by nomads from Inner Asia. The walls were built of rammed earth, constructed using forced labour, and by 212 BC ran from Gansu to the coast of southern Manchuria.Course of the Wall throughout historyLater dynasties adopted different policies towards northern frontier defense. The Han (202 BC – 220 AD), the Northern Qi (550–574), the Jurchen Jin (1115-1234), and particularly the Ming (1369–1644) were among those that rebuilt, re-manned, and expanded the Walls, although they rarely followed Qins routes. The Han extended the fortifications furthest to the west, the Qi built about 1,600 kilometres (990 mi) of new walls, while the Sui mobilised over a million men in their wall-building efforts. Conversely, the Tang (618–907), the Song (960–1279), the Yuan (1271–1368), and the Qing (1644–1911) mostly did not build frontier walls, instead opting for other solutions to the Inner Asian threat like military campaigning and diplomacy.Although a useful deterrent against raids, at several points throughout its history the Great Wall failed to stop enemies, including in 1644 when the Manchu Qing marched through the gates of Shanhai Pass and replaced the most ardent of the wall-building dynasties, the Ming, as rulers of China.The Great Wall of China visible today largely dates from the Ming dynasty, as they rebuilt much of the wall in stone and brick, often extending its line through challenging terrain. Some sections remain in relatively good condition or have been renovated, while others have been damaged or destroyed for ideological reasons deconstructed for their building materials,or lost due to the ravages of time. For long an object of fascination for foreigners, the wall is now a revered national symbol and a popular tourist destination.
Make sure you pick the RIGHT PART of the WALL!Its an amazing place to visit and you must try it it in your lifetime but some parts can be very busy and some parts you cannot go on. I went with some of the locals and they took me to a part which was unique.
Enjoyed an hour or so visiting this part of the Great Wall; really liked the trip back down on the slide! Can you imagine trekking through those mountains only to have to face this wall? Dream on Trump!

Amazing, just a bit cold during the winter
I love it here😍it is simply unique here I can recommend it to everyone!
The must go visit once you’re in Beijing…you’ll be amazed once you’re there
The Great Wall is an impressive structure and one that was on my bucket list. We traveled from Beijing and it was part of out tour of China. There was a cable car that takes you up to the wall so you can really just get of the cable and straight on the wall.
A must while in Beijing. What great views and history.
Stretching thousands of miles, the Great Wall is the longest man-made structure in the world, but that isnt its only significance. It was important in defending China from northern invasion for centuries, and has become a national symbol, and Chinas top tourist sight.The reasons to visit the Great Wall of China are that it has a long history and a massive scale which is said to be seen from the space. Also, one can enjoy the entertainment of hiking and photography and test your courage, etc
It was a great experience, I went during the winter, so be careful with the blackice, it can be slippery in some parts of the wall.
The great wall of china I think is a pretty risk to climb in the great wall even Theys no railing to hold on to pretty much OKEY WALKING ON the great wall
Beautiful place. Make sure to apply lots of sunscreen and carry ample water. If possible climb up to the highest allowed point and the view there is simply breathtaking.
We thank God that we have arrived at this amazing place

Great wall of China is a one of the seven wonders of the world. It is so far from Beijing town. Great wall is really a protection wall of heavy thickness. It was made at the ancient period but till now it looks like new. It is amazing, how it could be make by big hard rock and how the heavy rock placed from ground to top of the mountain. It was made for as a protection wall from foreign Grover. We know that China people are very clever, brilliant and hard working. Great wall is carried out the characteristics of China people. It is a nice place for traveling and very attractive and charming for students. At the year of 2018 I got an opportunity to visit the China mainly Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Guangzhou etc. We had visited many places but the best memorable place is Great-wall.
Most exciting and amazing place during China visit, Its worth and memorable trip. It was beautiful sunshine day and lots of tourist enjoyed the moments.
Ive been a couple times to different parts of the Great Wall. If you can go at at time to avoid the crowds, it is a magical experience...When I went this last time, it had snowed the night before, and there was snow covering many parts of the wall, so it was practically empty and was a great experience.
The Great Wall of China (traditional Chinese: 萬里長城; simplified Chinese: 万里长城; pinyin: Wànlǐ Chángchéng) is a series of fortifications that were built across the historical northern borders of ancient Chinese states and Imperial China as protection against various nomadic groups from the Eurasian Steppe. Several walls were built from as early as the 7th century BC,[2] with selective stretches later joined together by Qin Shi Huang (220–206 BC), the first emperor of China. Little of the Qin wall remains.[3] Later on, many successive dynasties have built and maintained multiple stretches of border walls. The most well-known sections of the wall were built by the Ming dynasty (1368–1644).Apart from defense, other purposes of the Great Wall have included border controls, allowing the imposition of duties on goods transported along the Silk Road, regulation or encouragement of trade and the control of immigration and emigration.[4] Furthermore, the defensive characteristics of the Great Wall were enhanced by the construction of watchtowers, troop barracks, garrison stations, signaling capabilities through the means of smoke or fire, and the fact that the path of the Great Wall also served as a transportation corridor.The frontier walls built by different dynasties have multiple courses. Collectively, they stretch from Liaodong in the east to Lop Lake in the west, from the present-day Sino–Russian border in the north to Tao River (Taohe) in the south; along an arc that roughly delineates the edge of the Mongolian steppe; spanning over 20,000 km (12,000 mi) in total.[5] Today, the defensive system of the Great Wall is generally recognized as one of the most impressive architectural feats in history.[6]The Great Wall of China is a prehistoric run of fortifications and walls made of bricks, wood, stone, and other materials. It is located in northern China. In ancient China, Empires were building walls around their territories to act as boundaries and provide protection to the Chinese empires and states. The building of walls began as early as the 7th century BCE; the Great Wall was formed due to the joining of the walls that had been built. It is said that the Great Wall of China is approximately over 2,300 years old with the very first wall was put up in 221 BCE.Construction Of The Great Wall Of ChinaSince various walls that were built by the Chinese empires form the Great Wall of China, there is no clear record of how long it took to construct the wall. Besides the various walls making up the Great Wall were built at different times. However, there is still no exact records to show how long the building took; archeologists suggest that all the walls that make up the Great Wall were completed in 22 centuries. After its completion, the Great wall has undergone numerous adjustments and advancements made by the various Chinese dynasties.
One of the seven wonders of world. A lifetime Experience.

A comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has concluded that the walls built by the Ming dynasty measure 8,850 km (5,500 mi). This is made up of 6,259 km (3,889 mi) sections of actual wall, 359 km (223 mi) of trenches and 2,232 km (1,387 mi) of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers. Another archaeological survey found that the entire wall with all of its branches measures out to be 21,196 km (13,171 mi).[6] Today, the defensive system of the Great Wall is generally recognized as one of the most impressive architectural feats in history.
There is so much beauty and history in this place. It is a lot warmer on the wall then the area where you buy tickets so dont be worried if you think its too cold to have fun! Overall if you go to China you need to come here it was such an amazing experience!

We think everyone should go and check it out ,Its Amazing and your so high up ,Its Incredible. We hope to go back again, we Loved all the people we met there .
This is the only Chinese which last long.Now jokes apart The Great Wall of China is an ancient series of walls and fortifications, totaling more than 13,000 miles in length, located in northern China. Perhaps the most recognizable symbol of China and its long and vivid history, the Great Wall was originally conceived by Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the third century B.C. as a means of preventing incursions from barbarian nomads. The best-known and best-preserved section of the Great Wall was built in the 14th through 17th centuries A.D., during the Ming dynasty. Though the Great Wall never effectively prevented invaders from entering China, it came to function as a powerful symbol of Chinese civilization’s enduring strength.Qin Dynasty ConstructionThough the beginning of the Great Wall of China can be traced to the fifth century B.C., many of the fortifications included in the wall date from hundreds of years earlier, when China was divided into a number of individual kingdoms during the so-called Warring States Period.Around 220 B.C., Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China under the Qin Dynasty, ordered that earlier fortifications between states be removed and a number of existing walls along the northern border be joined into a single system that would extend for more than 10,000 li (a li is about one-third of a mile) and protect China against attacks from the north.Construction of the “Wan Li Chang Cheng,” or 10,000-Li-Long Wall, was one of the most ambitious building projects ever undertaken by any civilization. The famous Chinese general Meng Tian initially directed the project, and was said to have used a massive army of soldiers, convicts and commoners as workers.Made mostly of earth and stone, the wall stretched from the China Sea port of Shanhaiguan over 3,000 miles west into Gansu province. In some strategic areas, sections of the wall overlapped for maximum security (including the Badaling stretch, north of Beijing, that was later restored during the Ming Dynasty).From a base of 15 to 50 feet, the Great Wall rose some 15-30 feet high and was topped by ramparts 12 feet or higher; guard towers were distributed at intervals along it.Did you know? When Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered construction of the Great Wall around 221 B.C., the labor force that built the wall was made up largely of soldiers and convicts. It is said that as many as 400,000 people died during the walls construction; many of these workers were buried within the wall itself.Great Wall of China Through the CenturiesWith the death of Qin Shi Huang and the fall of the Qin Dynasty, much of the Great Wall fell into disrepair. After the fall of the later Han Dynasty, a series of frontier tribes seized control in northern China. The most powerful of these was the Northern Wei Dynasty, which repaired and extended the existing wall to defend against attacks from other tribes.The Bei Qi kingdom (550–577) built or repaired more than 900 miles of wall, and the short-lived but effective Sui Dynasty (581–618) repaired and extended the Great Wall of China a number of times.With the fall of the Sui and the rise of the Tang Dynasty, the Great Wall lost its importance as a fortification, as China had defeated the Tujue tribe to the north and expanded past the original frontier protected by the wall.During the Song Dynasty, the Chinese were forced to withdraw under threat from the Liao and Jin peoples to the north, who took over many areas on both sides of the Great Wall. The powerful Yuan (Mongol) Dynasty (1206-1368), established by Genghis Khan, eventually controlled all of China, parts of Asia and sections of Europe.Though the Great Wall held little importance for the Mongols as a military fortification, soldiers were assigned to man the wall in order to protect merchants and caravans traveling along the lucrative Silk Road trade routes established during this period.
Ive seen the great corn place of Mitchell SD and this doesnt even compare to the glory of it. I think it could use some work too look better.
I visited in 2012, The Great Wall really does deserve to be one of the seven wonders. We took a tour there while in Beijing and we were the first to arrive so there were no tourists and we were able to climb it by ourselves. It was an awesome experience and it was very tough. The steps are really uneven so it makes for a hard climb. I felt like I was getting a good workout. I wanted to quit but my wife motivated me to keep on climbing. Anyways, the view itself is simply amazing, all the rolling green hills and the wall stretching out over them. It is a magical experience and it should be one of the number one things to do in Beijing.
Luckily, I got a chance to visit #The_Great_Wall_of_China in winter time ❄️❄️ (Oct-2016). It was also the first time in my life to see real snow and travel alone in one of the biggest cities in the world.The first time, I have been standing on the top of the greatest sights in the world — the longest wall in the world, an awe-inspiring feat of ancient defensive architecture. Its winding path over rugged country and steep mountains takes in some great scenery.Everything became an awesome and unforgettable memories. I had tried my best and motivated myself by singing on the way to conquer all the slippery stairs to see the super huge view on it.P/s: To a Vietnamses girl, traveling alone was not to hard, not to easy. I think if you’re ready, just make a well prepared plan, practice exercise everyday and then go ahead.
Theres no Great wall? ._.
Had such amazing food with the fam best restaurant loved eating at 2176 Hillsboro Rd, Franklin, TN 37069
The Great Wall of China is one of the most notorious structures in the entire world. The Jinshanling section in Hebei Province, China, pictured here, is only a small part of the wall that stretches over 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles).Apart from defense, other purposes of the Great Wall have included border controls, allowing the imposition of duties on goods transported along the Silk Road, regulation or encouragement of trade and the control of immigration and emigration.[4] Furthermore, the defensive characteristics of the Great Wall were enhanced by the construction of watchtowers, troop barracks, garrison stations, signaling capabilities through the means of smoke or fire, and the fact that the path of the Great Wall also served as a transportation corridor.The frontier walls built by different dynasties have multiple courses. Collectively, they stretch from Liaodong in the east to Lop Lake in the west, from the present-day Sino–Russian border in the north to Tao River in the south; along an arc that roughly delineates the edge of the Mongolian steppe; spanning over 20,000 km (12,000 mi) in total.[5] Today, the defensive system of the Great Wall is generally recognized as one of the most impressive architectural feats in history.The one thing most people “know” about the Great Wall of China—that it is one of the only man-made structures visible from space—is not actually true. Since the wall looks a lot like the stone and soil that surround it, it is difficult to discern with the human eye even from low Earth orbit, and is difficult to make out in most orbital photos. However, this does not detract from the wonder of this astounding ancient structure.For millennia, Chinese leaders instituted wall-building projects to protect the land from northern, nomadic invaders. One surviving section of such an ancient wall, in the Shandong province, is made of hard-packed soil called “rammed earth” and is estimated to be 2,500 years old. For centuries during the Warring States Period, before China was unified into one nation, such walls defended the borders.Around 220 B.C.E., Qin Shi Huang, also called the First Emperor, united China. He masterminded the process of uniting the existing walls into one. At that time, rammed earth and wood made up most of the wall. Emperor after emperor strengthened and extended the wall, often with the aim of keeping out the northern invaders. In some places, the wall was constructed of brick. Elsewhere, quarried granite or even marble blocks were used. The wall was continuously brought up to date as building techniques advanced.Zhu Yuanzhang, who became the Hongwu Emperor, took power in 1368 C.E. He founded the Ming Dynasty, famous for its achievements in the arts of ceramics and painting. The Ming emperors improved the wall with watchtowers and platforms. Most of the familiar images of the wall show Ming-era construction in the stone. Depending on how the wall is measured, it stretches somewhere between 4,000 and 5,500 kilometers (2,500 and 3,400 miles). In the 17th century, the Manchu emperors extended Chinese rule into Inner Mongolia, making the wall less important as a defense. However, it has retained its importance as a symbol of Chinese identity and culture. Countless visitors view the wall every year. It may not be clearly visible from space, but it is considered “an absolute masterpiece” here on Earth.

Amazing, this won’t disappoint, beautiful and peaceful place. The pictures can’t fully capture the steepness or slopes when walking on the wall
An amazing structure to visit and climb; not as easy as it seems; so pace yourself. The photos where taken in October, so at the end of summer; hence the landscape is quite dry; a real highlight, of the trip to Beijing.
Beautiful, but busy. Mutianyu is one of the two places where the Great Wall is closest to Beijing, that is why it can get very busy. But it is and remains the Great Wall and a visit is certainly impressive. My recommendation: hike up, stroll along the Wall at your leisure, and then take the cable car or toboggan run back down.
This place is very historical in the world.how can make this wall in old age. This is the most famous places in one.we must go in our life.i like this wall.thank you for give your important time 🙏🙏
A historic and beautiful place of china. A must go to travel destination for all the travelers in china as it is one of the seven wonders of the world. It is very long and beautiful sitting on the top of the hills protecting the city .
A must see if youre visiting China. Make sure you wear appropriate footwear and clothing, its a lot of walking. The chairlift up was quite daunting, but if youve no fear of heights, itd be fine!
Memorable experience claiming to the Great Wall of China 🇨🇳
Many people look forward to climbing the Great Wall, but don’t know that the best way to experience the Great Wall is to camp on the Great Wall like ancient soldiers. When the moon comes, living in a tent under the moonlight, you seem to hear the sound of ancient battlefields. Great Wall Adventure Club will make this dream camping possible for you.
You have to visit this place! Take the ski lift up and the luge down! At the end of the luge, they take a pic and try to sell it to you. But it’s actually a nice keepsake! Lots of tourist souvenirs at the entrance!
A great place to visit - once in a life time opportunity - had a fantastique time there
One of the worlds seven wonder beautiful sight in China with greenery 💖
Walked the Great Wall. Got an opportunity to click some pictures. It was a life time experience.The Great Wall would take about two and half hour drive from the Beijing international Airport. Most of the hotels in Beijing can help the tourist out in booking a private car to the great wall. It would cost around a 1000 Chinese yuan for a car with driver depending on the hotel. The driver will wait till the tour ends.The Great Wall tour would cost around 220 yaun. The tickets can be brought at the parking area. The ticket includes entry to the great wall, up and down rope way tickets, and bus ride.To trek the entire wall would take around a day. Refreshments stall and souvenir shops can be found at the entrance of the wall.

Although lengthy sections of the wall are now in ruins or have disappeared completely, it is still one of the more remarkable structures on Earth. The Great Wall was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.
Amazing section of the wall anytime of the year. Challenge yourself with a sunrise hike up the wild Great Wall portion. Also catching some snow during winter on the wall is spectacular as well! Be wary of hordes of people though!
Can get a bit crowdy sometimes but it is worth it. Especially with great weather you can get nice views.
The Great wall of China is truly an amazing site to see.
The great wall of china i have heard a lot of good things about it, the view and the great wind and air and the feeling of being there and it was great but i was also told while going there that it would be crowded and it was crowded but thats to be expected, i didnt get to see all of it but i saw a lot of it so i was slightly disappointed but overall i liked it a lot, however unfortunately there was a fight that happened by me by a group of people and they might have had bad intentions about the wall so thats why i had to cut my trip short just incase something went wrong, i would go there again
The largest man-made building. It is very difficult for children to use this building. It is also recommended that the elderly and those with heart disease do not climb the stairs. Overall this is a very exciting and unique experience.
The Great Wall of China is a huge fortress built in ancient China, and it is the largest building completed at that time, and the wall consists of many walls that were built parallel in northern China and southern Mongolia over a period of two thousand years, and extends for a distance of 5500 kilometers from east to west through Mount Hu near Dandong in the southeast of Liaoning Province, to the Jiayu Corridor in northwestern Gansu Province, and a quarter of the length of the Great Wall of China consists of natural barriers such as rivers and mountain hills, and 70% of it is an actual wall interspersed with some trenches. Currently, long sections of the wall are either destroyed or disappeared. Despite this, the Great Wall of China remains one of the most eye-catching buildings on earth.: سور الصين العظيم هو حصن ضخم بُني في الصين القديمة، ويُعد أكبر بناء تم إنجازه في ذلك الزمن، ويتكون السور من الكثير من الجدران التي تم بناؤها بشكلٍ متوازٍ في شمال الصين وجنوب منغوليا على مدى ألفي عام، ويمتد لمسافة 5500 كيلومتر من الشرق إلى الغرب عبر جبل هو بالقرب من داندونغ جنوب شرق مقاطعة لياونينغ، إلى ممر جيايو شمال غرب مقاطعة قانسو، ويتكون ربع طول سور الصين العظيم من الحواجز الطبيعية مثل الأنهار والتلال الجبلية، و70% منه عبارة عن جدار فعلي يتخلله بعض الخنادق. وحالياً تُعاني أجزاء طويلة من السور من الخراب أو الاختفاء؛ ورغماً عن ذلك لا يزال سور الصين العظيم من أكثر المباني اللافتة للنظر على وجه الأرض
A historic place to visit where u get the combination of nature and the fort amazingbule sky. If u r foreigner, u must need a guide to visit the place becz of language barrier and communication factor. Better to take a package to go there as it is convenient and easy way of going there. Cable car will take u the great wall. U have to walk around as far as u can affort to walk. Take water or natural juice and chocklet or dates to boost up ur energy. A thrilling experience when u r going to see the down from the pick. Amazing view with green nature with blue sky will relief ur eyes from the metropolitan chaotic view. U will get renewed enegry to get back ur monotonous city life with different views i guess.
Very, very nice! Well, being one of the most - if not number 1 - well-known attractions in China, it was a must-to-see attraction during our one month long stay in this enormous country. Our visit in Beijing was in December of 2016, as a sort of stay over on the way to SK and JP. And the Wall definitely is a sight worth visiting (even at that time of the year)!There are many different parts of the Great Wall one can visit from Beijing. It depends a little bit on where you stay and what the public transportation schedules are at that time of the year, but briefly concluded Id suggest to try to choose one of the less heavily populated parts - if just possible. The communication in China can be quite hard at times (Im bilingual and studied 6 languages... Yeah..), but it makes the trip from the hotel by public transportation even a better experience! But no worries, there are a lot of organized tours if thats what you prefer.In Winter it gets really cold, so just arriving from Thailand, my friend bought a better (winter) jacket at the Wall. Anyhow, once you start walking a few kilometres up and down, youll soon notice the sweat dripping: bring a backpack or similar. At the entrance there were many small shops that had snacks to buy, so a decent idea is obviously to buy a chocolate bar or so if you already didnt bring some with you.If youre traveling to Beijing or planning a trip to China, definitely include this in your travel plans!
This is a section of the Great Wall much less crowded than others. It’s a couple of hours of car far from Beijing. You can reach by bus or in much simple way by private car with driver. Bring with you food and water, the prices of the shops are definetly high! Anyway it’s a such magical place. You can enjoy a beautiful panorama from up there. Worth it at all... it’s a MUST SEE PLACE!!!
One of the best experiences in China
Badaling great wall is good
My life is unsatisfied with the experience of the Great Wall Of China. I got pushed off of the tall slide thing next to the Pistacio pines Nvm i love it 😻
The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications that were built across the historical northern borders of ancient Chinese states and Imperial China as protection against various nomadic groups from the Eurasian Steppe.The Great Wall of China is one of the most notorious structures in the entire world. The Jinshanling section in Hebei Province, China, pictured here, is only a small part of the wall that stretches over 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles).
The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications that were built across the historical northern borders of ancient Chinese states and Imperial China as protection against various nomadic groups from the Eurasian Steppe. Several walls were built from as early as the 7th century BC...
It’s way too long. They should offer rides across.I almost tripped and fell off because of the lack of renovations to the wall.
Great Wall of China. One of the New Seven Wonders of the World. I saw all New Seven Wonders of the World. Great Wall of China was last from Seven for me. Amazing amazing place! Tried to be very yearly on the wall. Wake up at 2:30am, left Hotel at 3:00am. Driven 2.5 hours. Maine Gate in Jinshanling opened at 6:00am. 1 hour fast walk and around 7am on the wall. The view is fantastic! Please see my photos
This is a series of fortification were built across the historical northern boarders of ancient Chinese stat and Imperial China as a protection against various nomadic groups from the Eurasian steppe. Several wall were built from as early as the 7th century B.C , with selective stretches later joined together by the Quin Shi Huang the first emperor of china.
Nice view, big history
I wanted to visit the Great Wall of China ever since kindergarten when I saw a program about it on TV. Not only did I see the wall, but I ran a marathon on it when I was 36 years old. That sensation of awe and satisfaction is hard to beat. I recommend it!
Its a wonderful place to visit,if u go to china then its a must visit place,take plenty of water with you & watch your steps its not easy to climb up to the top,
One of the wonders in the world. Long stretch of wall around china. The steps are pretty steep so be careful. Would recommend to climb when the weather is more chilly cause it is way too tiring to climb during summer.
One of the best place Ive visited in my life. Incredible place. Its generally built across the historical northern borders of China to protect and consolidate territories of Chinese states and empires against various nomadic groups of the steppe and their polities. According to source, It is estimated that up to 1 million people died while constructing the Great Wall..
Unbelievable....
Simply amazing and historic. worth a trip to tell your friends. the thing that amazed me the most was how steep parts of the wall are. so if youre not a strong walker or in a wheelchair you will struggle. before entering the wall there are shops with toilets, food etc. basic but you can get what you need. I didnt really care what part of the wall I visited this part did not have the chair lift. I visited in February so it was -10. if you go in the winter you need some serious clothing. the wind chill is terrible. the bus from BJ is easy to catch. make sure you have some cash to pay when you are on board. in real life the wall is much more superior than any photo you have seen. make sure you visit
Great wall in the world . I want to move .
The touristy part of it is fully restored so it is beautiful and you can enjoy the walk, the scenery, and the crowd. Further will get you to less restored parts (work in progress) and it is easy to end up being alone in some sections. Some parts can be dangerous though, with some bouldering involved, so I wouldnt recommend going alone. Some parts of the year are very hot and I almost got dehydrated in 5H on that wall (also expect to progress slowly in remote sections)
It was an amazing experience! To see, stand on it, walk on it, climb through the stairs and gates, look out at the mountains and valleys beyond! Admiring the strength, valour, sheer gutsy determination of all the people who toiled day and night for years to build this masterpiece which is still standing after hundreds of years! a tribute to humanity.
Okay but very less facilities. No option for riding and no option for enjoying with it. First it was so interesting but than it bored me but then also i am giving 3 stars okay. Very poor experience at nearby hotel and there was no place to stand in corner in shade. You can visit it anytime but experience & enjoyment is in evening.Dont forget to like my comment and photo ☺🙃.
Great Wall of China is a great historical site. Fascinating to climb up and see the view all around, watch towers, and troop barracks built by Ming dynasty. No wonder it is a wonder of the world, and China has preserved it very well. Understand the Great Wall near Beijing is renovated and well maintained as a large no. of tourists visit all round the year.
