At an altitude of about 1,000 meters (3,281 feet), it is strategically located and offers breathtaking views. “Badaling” means “reaching all directions”, symbolizing its long ridges that stretch in all directions. Badaling is easily accessible and the trails are well-maintained, and you will enjoy a 2-hour hike along this iconic structure. If you wish to reach the highest point, you can choose to take a cable car for a convenient and exciting climb. Afternoon - Mutianyu Great Wall After a delicious lunch, we will continue to Mutianyu Great Wall. This section of the Great Wall has more watchtowers than any other section of the Great Wall, with 22 watchtowers along the 1.4-mile (about 2.2 km) section. The fortifications here include inner and outer battlements, which are arranged in a zigzag pattern to achieve dual defense – this remarkable feature highlights the military strategic significance of the Great Wall.
