À propos de Badaling Great Wall
Badaling Great Wall charges CNY 40 for adult entry in the high season, as of 2026, and sits about 60 to 70 kilometres northwest of central Beijing, making it the closest restored section reachable by train. The accessible section totals about 3.7 kilometres, split into a shorter south section and a longer north section, and the wall runs along the ridge as granite and brick, with a walkway about 5 to 6 metres wide on top, wide enough for several people to walk abreast. Badaling is the busiest section of the Great Wall and shows the marks: stairs polished smooth by feet, packed selfie spots and lines at the cable car. The reward is a fully restored, steep ridge with sweeping views down the valley of the Juyong Pass.
Meilleur moment de la journée : Opening time to 09:00. On a weekday, before Beijing day-trip coaches arrive from about 09:30.

Histoire de Badaling Great Wall
Badaling Great Wall dates to 1504 during the Ming dynasty, built to guard Juyong Pass, the northwest gate to the capital, along the Guangou ancient road through the Jundu Mountains. The pass had been fortified before the Ming, but the wall visitors climb is from that period. Its position on the route toward Mongol territory made it one of the strongest garrisoned sections.
Badaling was among the first sections restored after 1949 and opened to the public in 1957. Richard Nixon visited in 1972, and the section's guides report more than 500 foreign leaders have walked it since. The Great Wall as a whole was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, and Badaling was among the earliest state-level protected relics, listed in 1961. Its restoration has drawn criticism, since heavily reconstructed stairs and fresh brickwork make it feel less authentic than unrestored sections such as Jiankou.
Règles et étiquette à Badaling Great Wall
Badaling Great Wall requires a real-name ticket for entry, so book online through the official channel or a reputable platform and bring your passport, particularly on weekends and holidays, when the daily cap sells out. Ticket checks happen at the gate, and staff scan the QR code against the document.
Badaling's north section is steep with long staircases and few rest points, so wear shoes with grip and carry water. Drones are banned near the wall, and large tripods block narrow walkways. Do not carve graffiti into the stone, since fines apply. Vendors near the car park sell souvenirs at inflated prices, and drivers waiting at the exit quote high fares for the return to Beijing, so buy train or bus tickets in advance.
Conseils pour visiter Badaling Great Wall
- 1
Badaling works best reached by the S2 train from Huangtudian, about 75 minutes and CNY 6 each way, then a 10-minute walk to the gate; trains run at intervals of an hour or two, so check the return time when you arrive. Bus 877 from Deshengmen costs roughly CNY 12 each way and takes 75 to 90 minutes. Either option beats a taxi at peak times, when road queues back up.
- 2
Badaling's north section is the steeper and busier, while the south section is shorter and less crowded and is the better pick for anyone short on time or energy. Travellers who want smaller crowds and a rougher wall should take a car to Mutianyu or a hike to Jiankou instead. Pack a jacket, since wind on the ridge can be sharp even in May and October. Winter visits are much quieter but icy.
