Do I need to buy Badaling Great Wall tickets in advance? How to get to Badaling Great Wall?

The Great Wall is a very spectacular wonder. There is a saying that goes, "If you haven't been to the Great Wall, you are not a true man." It was said in ancient times that "the most dangerous part of Juyong is not at the pass but at Badaling", so the Badaling Great Wall is the most classic section of the Great Wall. It would be nice to climb or take a look at the Great Wall during the upcoming Spring Festival holiday. So do you need to buy tickets for the Badaling Great Wall in advance? How to get there? Here is a travel guide for you.

Do I need to buy Badaling Great Wall tickets in advance?

You don't need to buy tickets in advance, you can buy them directly at the window. Ropeway and cable car tickets need to be purchased separately.

Adult ticket (40 yuan/person in peak season; 35 yuan/person in off-season)

Discounted tickets (20 yuan/person in peak season; 17.5 yuan/person in off-season)

How to get to Badaling Great Wall

Detailed address:

North entrance of Guangou Ancient Road, Jundu Mountain, Yanqing District, Beijing

transportation:

Take the 887 bus to Deshengmen directly, 6 yuan for a bus card, 12 yuan in cash. Don't just go and buy tickets on the 877 bus when someone tells you that you can buy tickets for 50 yuan each. There are guides on the 877 bus who will tell you how to buy tickets, the hiking trails, the cable car routes, and they are mainly there to sell tickets. If you are young, I suggest you climb the bus. You can walk by yourself after getting off the bus.

play:

The "If you haven't been to the Great Wall, you are not a true man" monument is on the South Great Wall! There seem to be two between South 2 and South 4! Remember to look to the left. If there is a toilet sign, be sure to look at it. Go down the stairs at this sign!

Young people can climb from Beiyi to Beiyi. Beiyi has a direct exit to the mountain, not far away! Because Beiba is the highest point, you can go down after Beiba, so you don’t have to go back the same way, and you can also pass by and see brown bears! Super cute!

Many places on the Great Wall are still very steep! If you encounter a very steep downhill slope, my suggestion is to hold the railing and walk backwards, which is very labor-saving and will not hurt your feet.

Tips:

1. Those who bring the elderly and children can choose the cable car or pulley, go up to the North 4th floor and then start climbing to the highest point of the North 8th floor. This way you can save effort and experience the most essential part.

2. Those with good physical strength can climb the southern section first, then the northern section. The southern section is less crowded and suitable for taking photos. The northern section is thrilling and more spectacular.

3. There is no need for young people to take the cable car back and forth. Climbing down the Great Wall in this way will be soulless and really not satisfying.

4. There are cats on the way down the mountain. They are super cute, not wild at all, and very gentle!
