Choosing the Jinshanling Great Wall hiking , I considered it is not maintained as well as Badaling Great Wall, and it keeps the original characteristic. Looking at it, I have strong feelings dating back to the ancient times. It gathers various traces of ancient wars. In order to have satisfied tour, I booked the 2 days Jinshanling Great Wall tour packages online to feel it atmosphere in-depth. The tour guide and driver picked me up at hotel, then drove to Jinshanling Great Wall in 2 hours. On the way, I always was excited about it, just because I would like to enjoy its majestic magnificence and intensive watch towers. Connected with Simatai Great Wall, Jinshanling section was the important place for wars.

Arriving at Jinshanling Great Wall, I was agog to start my Jinshanling hiking tour. It is little difficult to hike because of the less maintained. Its environment is better than Beijing downtown, even the sky is more clear. Less people made it quieter, just like a soldier protecting the Beijing city silently. In short distance, we have visited several watch towers in different shapes. At same time, the facilities of wars are very complete such as battery, barrier wall, horse house, etc. Standing on the highest watch tower – Wangjing Tower, I saw the Beijing city and Miyun Reservoir. I found it has best sight on Jinshanling section, even the air is fresh. On the way, the tour guide told me many stories about this section and its influence in history.
The night we slept in the Jinshaning Great Wall hotel. Next day, we continued to hike the east section of the Jinshanling Great Wall. After 2 days, I have more interests about the Jinshanling section. Last, I must thank the beijinglandscapes.com, it offered me best help and service.

Great Feeling in Badaling Great Wall

My friends and I we four friends really have a wonderful day trip in Beijing this time. One day tour to Badaling Great Wall and Ming Tombs did leave us a deep impression.
Early in the morning, the English speaking tour guide picked us up at my hotel and started the trip. The first destination is Ming Tombs. On the car, the tour guide told us about the history of Ming Tombs: Ming Tombs is the Chinese emperors mausoleum building with better preserved and was classified as "the world's largest intact burial Emperor Tombs". Until the last Ming emperor buried into the tomb, during 230 years, there has built thirteen emperors tombs.
Dingling and Changling are both opened to the tourists. Dingling is the only one underground palace. And among 13 tombs, Changling is the most famous one. It is the largest and the earliest tomb of the thirteen with the ground buildings most intact and well preserved. It is the mausoleum of the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor.
After the short discussion, we decided to visit Changling. The way lead to the Changling is called the Sacred Road. It means the road leading to heaven is lined with 18 pairs of stone human figures and animals which are important decorations of the mausoleum. I am very interested in them.

Bird Eye View of Badaling

After lunch and a short rest, we went to see the famous Badaling Great Wall. Oh, it is really incomparable. Having the overlooking, it just likes a dragon getting ready for flying. If energetic, we would like to climb to the top. But after a half day traveling in Ming Tombs, we were already tired and had to take the cable car. Thanks to the sunny weather, having a bird's eye view is really wonderful and the beautiful scenery beyond my words. I really like the feeling. We took a lot of photos on the top and overlooking the mountains in distance. Though here is very crowed and full of local tourists, it did not disturb us enjoying!
He who has not been to the Great Wall is not a true man! Today I got a deep understanding about this word. At last, thank you very much to our patient guide.
