Great Wall at Badaling

$$
Known forgreat walliconicday trip
The most famous and most visited section of the Great Wall, heavily restored and easiest to reach from central Beijing. Cable cars and a direct train make it very accessible, with dramatic ridge-top views. It is also the most crowded stretch, so arrive early or consider quieter Mutianyu if you want space.
