ダマクン山脈のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

It was built starting around 214 BC, at the behest of Emperor Qin Shi Huang to defend the empire from nomadic populations, particularly the dangerous Huns. Its length has been estimated at 6,350 kilometers, with varying heights.

I was able to go to the wall twice and was always very moved by the human craftsmanship

An imposing structure worth a visit. According to recent findings, the wall is so well preserved because it has processed in the mortar rice starch (glutinous rice). That's no joke. Normally, such brick buildings only last about 100 years. By adding rice, smaller crystals form in the mortar, which are more stable and last much longer. A happiness for us today; otherwise we would not be able to marvel at this building today.

The big wall. I was always skeptical about whether she is as great as everyone claimed. Meanwhile I was 2x here and can only confirm it. a masterpiece of architecture. Once being here and walking a few hundred meters is an experience you can not forget.

A must with every visit to Beijing. There are a lot of tours here (you may have to pass a jade sale before), but you can also take public transportation. In addition to climbing and hiking on the wall, you can also dress in Chinese costumes and be photographed

The Badaling Great Wall It is the best-preserved and most complete section. Compared with other sections, most stairs near the start are not very steep and they are equipped with handrails, so it is a relatively easier climb. The northern sided of this section even has one portion equipped with cable car and pulley for handicapped or others to save energy, and it even has some facilities to make it easier for seniors and the disabled. It is close to downtown Beijing, about 43 miles (70 kilometers) away, and easy to reach by public transportation. Still, even if busy on the first half mile, there is almost nobody if you walk a little further up the steeper sections. After a mile you'll have it all for yourself. The entrance area, besides ticket booths, has restaurants, shops, and a museum.

Highest point of the Great Wall renovated section in the north portion at Badaling. Definitively worth making it to this section or further, as there are almost no people due to steepness, even if the first half mile is crawling with tourists.
