About The Great Wall of China

Great Wall tours cover very different environments. Mutianyu pairs dense forest and closely spaced watchtowers with cable car and chairlift access, Badaling offers wide restored paths split between north and south sections, and Jinshanling mixes restored stretches with older fabric and long ridge walks. Some itineraries extend to Shanhaiguan, where the Wall reaches the Bohai Sea.

Did you know?

The Great Wall is a network built and rebuilt from the 3rd century BCE through the Ming dynasty, stretching for ~21,000 km when branches and natural barriers are counted.

Why visit The Great Wall of China?

Walk a UNESCO World Heritage fortification

The Great Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site made up of defensive walls and fortifications whose earliest components date back over two millennia. Walking its battlements and beacon towers gives the visit both historical depth and a strong sense of scale across northern China.

Plan your visit

Mutianyu Main Tourist Entrance

This entrance is at the Mutianyu visitor center complex in Huairou District and is the standard approach for most tours and independent visitors. The visitor center itself has step-free access, though the Wall beyond it still involves steep gradients and stairs.

Badaling Main Entrance (Tourist Center area)

This entrance is near the main Badaling service area and the Badaling Great Wall Museum. It is the usual entry point for most tours and first-time visitors. Badaling has wide restored paths and cable cars, but visitors should still expect slopes and steps.

Jinshanling Main Gate

This is the main visitor entrance for Jinshanling in Luanping County, Hebei. It is commonly used for hiking and photography-focused visits. The section is steeper and less developed than the main Beijing-area sightseeing sections.
