    Advantages Advantages Able to marvel at one of the great wonders of the world.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can get too crowded at this spot.

    The Great Wall of China Badaling. The Great Wall of China is one of the most wonderful sights you are likely to see on your trip to china. It is a magnificent structure that apparently can be seen from outer space although there is some debate whether this is true. It stretches for over 5000 miles across the whole of china from the desserts in the West right to the sea in the East over mountains. Building of the great wall started approximately 476 years BC and was finally completed during the Ming Dynasty in about 1644. The wall was originally built to try and stop the Northern nomadic tribes ... more

    Advantages Advantages traditional attraction

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    Badaling Changcheng is in the countryside of Beijing City, it will cost you about 100-150 yuan to go there from the city centre of Beijing by taxi, which is worth about 8-12 pounds. The whole walk in Badaling Changcheng is normally take about 2hours, it does not count the time you spend to purchasing some product. But I highly recomend here, most of the goods selling in Badaling private stores are not real, so don't spend your money here, you will find some better products with a much cheaper price in other places in Beijing City. Accually Badaling Changcheng is only a small part of Great Wall ... more

    Advantages Advantages breath taking sight! a wonder of the world! experience of a life time

    Disadvantages Disadvantages a little distance to travel to

    WOW! well what can i saw, to have walked on the great wall of china is one thing you certain must not miss out on in life! Unbelieveable views! The wall is a master piece and priviledge to go and visit. I stayed in Beijing and visted the badaling section in June, we took a taxi to it from our hotel which was about 1-2 hour ride but the taxi was the best around with full air con and sweet lady driver. She took us there and waited for us then drove us back for around half the price of one of those dodgy sight seeing trips! I would recommend you take taxis to any part you visit as bus tours are a ... more

    Advantages Advantages Wonderful experience, amazing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Wow, what an amazing place I just visited. I spent a whole day there. I really understood why it is a world wonder. It is quite far from Beijing city center. There are some tour buses to there from city center in the morning time. You can take it from Tiananmen Square. That is what I did. It costs about 3 pounds. You can also take taxi. In China, it is easy to get taxi. But it's better to book one in hotel before you go. The Great Wall was originally built in Qin dynasty. Then it was added and built up by many dynasties. The most famous part of Great Wall is called as BaDaLing in Chinese ... more

    Advantages Advantages views, experience

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not really any

    I visited the great wall about two years ago. I am not 100% sure which part in Beijing I visited but I am sure it wouldn\'t matter. All I can say is wow! The views are absolutely fantastic it is well worth the trip and I would do it again any day. You do need to be fairly fit if you want to see alot of it as its quite a long walk and your constantly going up and down. I would also recommend flat shoes as the steps on the wall sometimes slope on an angle and some steps are that big its like climbing a wall in itself. The part I went to had a toboggan ride you could take to the bottom. That was ... more
