Badaling Great Wall Tour Guide

Real coordinates · smooth curved route
Badaling Great Wall is divided into the South and North sections: the North Wall runs along the ridge with 8 watchtowers, topped by North Tower 8 (888 m, the famous 'Hero Slope'); the South Wall has 4 watchtowers on gentler terrain with fewer visitors. The classic route starts at the entrance, goes up the North Wall by cable car or on foot, continues to Tower 8, walks back along the wall, and finishes at the Great Wall Museum.
