We were at the site of the Great Wall in March, in the morning, we were incredibly lucky, there were no crowds, we did not queue. I highly recommend it, it's an enchanting and memorable experience. It's really hard to climb, but the view redeems everything. One of the wonders of the world that should be visited. Downstairs there is an interactive show, a souvenir shop, parking and a toilet. I don't know how much the tickets cost, the guide paid.

I visited the Yuyongguang site in April 25. It is considered the most picturesque section of the Great Wall of China. In the past, the pass was surrounded by mountains. It is located 60 km from the center of Beijing, the most convenient way to get there is by taxi, about 1.5hours, depending on traffic jams. The total length is about 4km, we have passed 1/3. There are very steep ascents, steps up to 50cm high. Comfortable shoes and clothes are required. There are historical sites of the Ming Dynasty, several cafes, grocery and souvenir shops on the territory. The tour is optional, just an entrance ticket, which can be purchased at the entrance.

Visiting the Great Wall of China was one of my long—held dreams, and it finally came true. This is a place of power and history that is definitely worth a visit. As they say, those who have not been to the Great Wall have not been to China. We took a taxi from Beijing and bought a shuttle ticket at the entrance. Tickets for the cable car were taken in advance via Trip.com but for some reason they didn't work. We contacted support, sent a photo of the newly purchased tickets, and the money was immediately refunded. The Badalin section itself is very convenient: everything is well-maintained, clear navigation, there are lifts, recreation areas. Despite the popularity, there weren't many people on our visit. The scale is impressive — the wall goes into the mountains, the views are simply amazing. The climbs are not easy in places, but it's definitely worth it. There are many cafes and small shops with snacks and fruits, souvenirs! I drank very delicious chamomile tea ! Very strong impressions. This is not just an attraction, but a place that remains in the memory for a long time. A must-visit!
